How Do I Solve This Rotational Motion Problem?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving a rotational motion problem, with the original poster seeking assistance. They provided images of the problem and their initial attempt at a solution, questioning the validity of using tan37° in their calculations. Participants suggested recalculating the moment around points A or B and emphasized the need to consider all acting forces. Ultimately, the original poster resolved the issue by recognizing their oversight in accounting for all forces involved. The problem was successfully clarified, leading to a solution.

Try to calculate moment around point A or B. I don't think your equation tan37° is valid.

Thanks dear, I got the answer. I was making the last equation in the wrong manner. I was only considering N1 ans N2 and forgot about the other forces which are acting there.
 
The problem has been cleared.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
