Frictional Force: Causes & Effect on Rotational Flywheel & Pulley

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the frictional force experienced by a rotational velocity apparatus, specifically in relation to a flywheel and pulley system. Key points include the need to explain discrepancies between theoretical and experimental data in a lab report. The frictional force arises due to the axle pressing against the flywheel, generating resistance. Understanding these causes is crucial for accurately interpreting experimental results. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of analyzing friction's impact on rotational dynamics.

Hi guys currently submitting a report for a lab experiment we carried out in college. This was to determine the frictional force of a Rotational Velocity Apparatus.

I have successfully carried out the relevant calculations and in conclusion to my submitted report, I have to explain the differences in theoretical and experimental data.

I am looking for any help or guidance with regards to explaining the causes of frictional force on the rotational fly-wheel and pulley.

the axle presses on the flywheel (you must have encountered some resistance) so a friction develops
 

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 '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 .
