Impact of Jet Experiment: Error & Effects

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the impact of small measurement errors in a jet experiment, specifically regarding jockey weight, distance from the vane center to the pivot point, and nozzle diameter. It concludes that these errors, being minimal, can be considered negligible in their effect on calculated values. Participants encourage further elaboration or rewording of the original post to generate more responses. The conversation highlights the importance of precision in experimental setups while acknowledging that minor discrepancies may not significantly alter outcomes. Overall, the consensus is that small errors in measurement have a limited impact on the results of the experiment.

Homework Statement



What would be the effect of calculated value if:
a. Jockey weight is in error by 1 g?
b. Distance from vane center to pivot point is in error by 1 mm?
c. diameter of nozzle 0.1mm different from actual nozzle diameter.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


as the error is too small, the effect can be neglect.

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 .
