AI Thread Summary
To solve the thin lens problem, first understand the relationships between image size, object size, image distance, object distance, and focal length. The image is three times the height of the object, indicating a magnification of 3. Use the lens formula and magnification equation to find the object distance and focal length. Reviewing relevant notes or textbooks on these concepts is advised for clarity. This foundational knowledge is crucial for accurately solving the problem.

I really need help with this problem. Give me at least a hint on how to solve it.

You are standing in front of a lens that projects an image of you onto a wall 2.00m on the other side of the lens. This image is three times your height.

A)
How far are you from the lens?

B)
What is the focal length of the lens?

Your help will be much appreciated :'0

Have you learnt:
(i) The relationship between image size and object size?
(ii) The relationship between image distance, object distance and focal length for a thin lens?

If not, I recommend you review your notes/textbook.
 
The problem tells you what the magnification is.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
