AI Thread Summary
A biophysics student is seeking help for an upcoming quiz focused on body mechanics, including topics like center of mass, static equilibrium, force, torque, levers, and mechanical advantage. The student’s textbook lacks examples, prompting a request for additional resources such as books, websites, and examples. Suggestions include consulting general physics textbooks at a library and visiting the professor for clarification on the subjects. Additionally, starting with Wikipedia for foundational information and links is recommended. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of seeking diverse resources and guidance to prepare effectively for the quiz.

Hello,
(( sorry my english is limited))


I am a bioPhysics student.



I have a quiz next week,but my textbook has no examples about the topics.


i need to more examples ...please help me
((books ...examples...websites...etc)).


my exam is about body mechanics(center of mass ,,,ststic equilibrim,,,,center of mass of human,,,the froce,,,the torque,,,levers and mechanical advantage).

This is too broad a request. It is not possible to learn the topics you mention in one week. All I can suggest going to a library and taking a look at a general physics textbook to get an idea about what to specifically ask.

You can start out at wikipedia and follow some of their links for more reading/examples:

That is good advice.
 
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 .
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...
