Range Trig

AI Thread Summary

To determine the range of possible solutions for the given trigonometric equations, one must first isolate variables and express them in terms of v (velocity). The equations involve cosine and sine functions, which suggest the use of trigonometric identities and possibly substitution methods. Participants emphasize the importance of showing initial attempts at solving the problem to facilitate guidance. The discussion highlights the collaborative nature of problem-solving in mathematics, encouraging participants to share their thought processes. Engaging with the equations systematically will lead to a clearer understanding of the range of values for v.

given two eqs.

Xcos30 + Ycos55 = 68.67
1.356 * (X sin 30 + Y sin55) = 7v^2

Determine the range of values of v(velocity).

That was not the question. What have you tried to solve this?

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 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

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...
