AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the linear speed of a bucket being lowered into a well via a hand crank with a tangential speed of 1.15 m/s. The crank has a diameter of 0.400 m, while the stick tied to the bucket has a diameter of 0.100 m. Participants emphasize the importance of showing effort in solving the problem independently before seeking help. Additionally, there is a note about using dedicated homework forums for such queries. The focus remains on the physics involved in determining the bucket's linear speed based on the crank's specifications.

Here is my problem...

A person lowers a bucket into a well by turning the hand crank, as the figure illustrates. The crank handle moves with a constant tangential speed of 1.15 m/s on its circular path. Find the linear speed with which the bucket moves down the well. The diameter of the turning hand crank is .400m and the diameter of the stick that the bucket is tied to is .100m.

Hi Kris and welcome to PF,

We are more than happy to help you will any homework questions you may have. However, you are required to show some effort in solving the question yourself.

P.S. For future reference we have Homework Forums for dedicated homework assistance.
 

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...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
