Constant velocity moments problem

AI Thread Summary
When an object rotates about an axis with constant velocity, the sum of the acting moments, or torque, is indeed zero because there is no angular acceleration. The relationship between moment, mass, acceleration, and distance supports this conclusion, as moment is defined as mass times acceleration times distance. Since acceleration is zero in this scenario, the resulting moment is also zero. Therefore, the assumption that the acting moment is zero under constant velocity rotation is accurate. This understanding is crucial for analyzing rotational dynamics in physics.

If a something is rotating about an axis with a constant velocity is the sum of the acting moments 0 since no acceleration is occurring?
Moment = mass x acceleration x distance
If acceleration is 0, the moment is 0.
Is this correct?

I'm assuming that by acting moment you mean torque, in which case yes, that is correct.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
