Fluid Mechanics and SHM question Question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving a cylindrical object supported by a spring and partially submerged in water. Participants are asked to find the elongation of the spring in equilibrium and the time period of oscillations when the object is slightly depressed. The problem requires applying principles of fluid mechanics and simple harmonic motion (SHM). Additionally, there is a reminder for users to demonstrate their attempts at solving the problem before seeking assistance. The thread emphasizes the importance of engaging with the material for effective learning.

Can please anyone solve the following question in details...

A cylindrical object of outer diameter 10 cm height 20 cm and density 8000 kg/m3 is supported by a vertical spring and is half dipped in water. Spring constant is 500N/m.
(a) Find the elongation in the spring in equilibrium condition
(b)If the object is slightly depressed and released, find the time period of resulting oscillations of object.

Hi Swaraj M! Welcome to pf! :smile:

As per the rules, you need to show us your attempt at the problem before asking for help.
 

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...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

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...
