AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving parabolic equations, specifically addressing the equations for variables "x" and "y." It highlights that the equation for "x" indicates a relationship where t1 equals the negative of t2. A mathematical expression involving t1 and t2 is presented, showing a formula for their cubic difference. The solutions provided are t1 = √6 and t2 = -√6. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in presenting mathematical equations.

Help with paremetic

I need help with these... I can't read them...

wrap around each line, because that's just a mess.
 
I wonder if there is something wrong on your computer

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...
