AI Thread Summary
The problem involves finding the tension in a rope at a 45-degree angle, with the constraint that point A cannot support any moments. The drag force is calculated using the equation Drag=0.5*Cd*(U^2)*A*rho, where all variables are provided. The initial approach of equating T*cos(45deg) to Drag is questioned due to the moment constraint at point A. The discussion suggests the presence of two torques, indicating a need for further analysis of distances involved. Clarification on the setup and torque calculations is necessary to solve for the tension accurately.

Homework Statement



Find the tension of the rope. Theta is 45 degrees and A cannot support any moments.

Homework Equations



Drag=0.5*Cd*(U^2)*A*rho

The Attempt at a Solution



While everything is known, I am unsure of the setup. I initially thought:

T*(cos(45deg))=Drag

But it doesn't work if point A can't support any moments...Thanks.

BTW, all variables in drag equation are given.

It seems we have two torques here. So,

(Drag force)*(some distance, not given?) = T*cos(theta)*(2m)
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
