B Doubt regarding the terms used in the solution

AI Thread Summary
The terms Lcm and Icm refer to the angular momentum and moment of inertia of a sphere, respectively, as measured from the center of mass. The "cm" indeed stands for center of mass, indicating that these calculations are based on the sphere's center of mass axis. There is a discussion about a potential misprint in the solution regarding the translational velocity, suggesting it should be "v" instead of "vο." This clarification is important for accurate understanding and application of the concepts. Overall, the terms and their usage in the solution are confirmed to be correct, with the noted misprint being the only issue.

In the solution, the term Lcm and Icm is used. Explain the meaning of these terms? I think cm stands for centre of mass. why that is used in the subscript?does the term angular momentum from the centre of mass of the sphere makes sense? Is the term Lcm and Icm stand for angular momentum of the sphere from the axis passing through the centre of mass of the sphere and moment of inertia of sphere from the axis passing through the centre of mass of the sphere respectively.

Yes.
 
Also in the solution it is written "suppose the translational velocity of the sphere after it start rolling,is vο"is this a misprint ?, and it should have been written v instead of vο.

Yes!
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Free fall of person in a sled to direct horizontal motion by atmospheric resistance'

Let there be a person in a not yet optimally designed sled at h meters in height. Let this sled free fall but user can steer by tilting their body weight in the sled or by optimal sled shape design point it in some horizontal direction where it is wanted to go - in any horizontal direction but once picked fixed. How to calculate horizontal distance d achievable as function of height h. Thus what is f(h) = d. Put another way, imagine a helicopter rises to a height h, but then shuts off all...
