AI Thread Summary
To calculate the volume of a right circular cylinder, the formula V = πr²l is used, where r is the radius and l is the length. In this case, with a radius of 2.36 cm and a length of 44.0 cm, the calculated volume is approximately 770 cm³. There was some confusion regarding the terminology, as "length" was used instead of "height," but both refer to the same measurement in this context. The calculation appears to be correct, confirming the volume of the cylinder. Thus, the volume of the right circular cylinder is 770 cm³.

Homework Statement


A right circular cylinder has a radius of 2.36 cm and a length of 44.0 cm. Its volume is ____ cm3?

Homework Equations



V=pi*r^2*l


(i am not sure if this equation is correct because the say to use height and i am given length)

The Attempt at a Solution



Volume= 770 cm3

Then turn the cylinder on its end!:smile:

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
