Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a project involving a tire that contains two tubes, one for air and another for liquid. The original poster is exploring the feasibility of keeping the inner tube stationary while the tire spins, posing a question about the physical or scientific principles that could allow this scenario to work.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to clarify the original question and the mechanics involved. One suggestion involves using a bearing system to potentially keep the inner tube stationary, while acknowledging the challenges of mounting it within the tire and the likelihood of some movement due to imperfect conditions.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification and exploring possible mechanical solutions. There is no explicit consensus yet, but some guidance has been provided regarding the use of a bearing system.

Contextual Notes

There are uncertainties regarding the mounting of the system within the tire and the effects of non-ideal conditions on the inner tube's stability.

Homework Statement



so I am doing a project where we need to invent something and we have our idea and we are working towards a clear focused idea put we hit a bump in the road

I need to know if there is any possible way to have this scenario work...

Inside a tire in two tubes, one for air and one for liquid. How can I make the second tube not spin? As the tire is moving we all know it will be spinning and spinning, but the inside we want the water to fall and move with the water while the tube in not spinning, ,...we also have something inside the second tube we want to stay in the same spot...

IS there any physical or scientific way to make this happen?

anyone? :(
 
Could you clarify the question and what you are asking? I read it 4 or 5 times and i can't make heads or tails of what the problem is.
 
You're asking if there's any way to have the tube with the water inside stay still while the tire rotates, correct?

If so, I think you'd have to mount something to the inner tire, a sort of bearing system that is nearly frictionless and will keep the tube still as the tire and the mounting system rotates. Creating the bearing system would probably be the easiest part of this; however, I'm not sure how easy mounting something to the inside of the tire would be. Also, due to non-perfect conditions, the tube would probably still jostle around a little bit while the tire rotates.

Hope this helps, and good luck!
 
Spinnas in the tire!
