AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on confusion regarding equations related to angular velocity and rotational forces. Participants seek resources that provide comprehensive lists of relevant equations and educational materials on the topic. Key issues include understanding how mass factors into equations for centripetal force in scenarios like a ball on a string and a lack of clarity on the concept of angular velocity itself. A couple of helpful websites are suggested for further learning and clarification. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for better resources to grasp these concepts effectively.

Ok guys, I am a bit confused on this.
Does anyone know a good site that has a list of equations for just this? (like angular velocity, etc?)
Or even better, a website that TEACHES it?

Like I seem to be running into 2 problems while doing this homework.
First of all, some questions are like "ball on string being rotated around, creating force of blah, what is the mass" etc, but I don't know any equations that have mass in them related to this.
The second issue is that I don't really understand angular velocity.

If anyone could please help me with my questions above, that'd be great.
thanks

When the ball is being spun around the centripetal force that it experiences by the string pulling it (the tension in the string) towards the center of ratation (your hand), it (the ball) will pull just as hard back on the string (N3 action-reaction). This force is transmitted by the string to your hand. The string will therefore pull just as hard on your hand as the centripetal force it experiences.
 
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 .
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 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
