AI Thread Summary
To convert W²/NJHz to MKS units, start with the expression W²/NJHz. Substitute W with J/s, leading to (J/s)² in the numerator. This simplifies to J²/s², and substituting J with Nm gives (Nm)²/s². After canceling units, the final result simplifies to m/s, confirming the conversion is correct.

Just plug those values into the expression and cancel everything that can be canceled.
 
\frac{W^2}{NJHz} <br /> = \frac{(\frac{J}{s})^2}{NJ\frac{1}{s}} <br /> = \frac{\frac{J}{s}}{N} <br /> = \frac{Nm}{Ns} <br /> = \frac{m}{s}<br />

is this right?

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 hanged 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...
