How Do Mass and Young's Modulus Affect Cylinder Stability?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around two cylinders, A and B, with differing diameters and Young's moduli, and how these factors influence their stability when supporting a horizontally placed rod. The key calculations involve determining the mass ratio required for each cylinder to effectively hold the rod and the ratio of distances from the center of mass of the rod to the centers of the cylinders. The complexity arises from the need to understand the relationship between mass, Young's modulus, and the structural integrity of the cylinders. Participants express difficulty in interpreting the question due to translation issues, indicating a need for clearer phrasing. Overall, the focus is on the mechanical properties affecting the stability of the cylinders under load.

Homework Statement


two cylinders A and B with the same initial length, standing upright with one another. Then on top of the cylinder is placed a rod horizontally as shown. If the known diameter and Young's modulus cylinder A is twice the diameter and Young's modulus cylinder B. Determine:
1. The amount of the mass ratio of a cylinder to hold the rod
2. The amount of mass perbanfingan cylinder B to hold the rod
3. If the distance of the center of mass of the rod to the center of mass of the cylinder A is Ra and mass center distance to the center of mass of the cylinder rod B is Rb, calculate the ratio Ra / Rb

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging 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...
