Exploring Newton's Third Law: Rope with a Wheel & Work/Potential Energy

AI Thread Summary
In the discussion about Newton's third law, a scenario involving a rope and a wheel is presented, questioning the reaction force when 50N is applied downward. The conversation shifts to work, with an inquiry about whether the force in the work equation is continuously applied, similar to weight, and if the object would eventually stop. Additionally, a scenario is posed where a man lifts a 100N weight to a height of 10m, questioning why the force exerted remains 100N despite being countered by the weight's gravitational force. The participants seek clarification on these concepts, particularly the implications of continuous force application and the relationship between applied force and gravitational force. Understanding these principles is crucial for grasping the fundamentals of physics related to forces and energy.

One question related to Newton's third law,
v
t p
u o
u o
It is a rope with a wheel,v.
If 50N is applied from u pulling towards the ground, what's the reaction force?
From o to p ?

Two questions related to work,
I think the force in the equation of work done is continuously applied,like weight, right?
And the object would not stop finally, right?

For the PE, a weight of 100N is lifted up by a man up to a height of 10m.
Why the force applied by the man continuously is 100N?
Isn't 100 N causing no effect on the weight as it is compensated by the mg of the weight, right?

What does this mean?

How about these?

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 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
