Angular Angular displacement Displacement Maximum

AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around calculating the maximum angular displacement of a simple pendulum with a length of 1.53 m and a mass of 6.74 kg, given an initial speed of 1.36 m/s. The period of the pendulum is determined to be 2.48 seconds. To find the maximum angular displacement, the conservation of energy principle is suggested as the method of calculation. The initial kinetic energy at the equilibrium position is converted into potential energy at the maximum displacement. The final goal is to express the maximum angular displacement in degrees.

Really Stuck here I've got the period but after that like i said I'm stuck

A simple pendulum having a length of 1.53 m and a mass of 6.74 kg is given an initial speed of 1.36 m/s at its equilibrium position. Assume it undergoes simple harmonic motion.
(a) Determine its period.
2.48 s
(b) Determine its maximum angular displacement.

Use conservation of energy.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

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...
