AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around verifying the mechanical equations for a balancing robot, which consists of a body mounted on two wheels. The creator seeks confirmation on the correctness of the equations they have derived for both the body and the wheels. They mention that some initial equations were incorrect and are looking for feedback on any additional mistakes. Attached photos contain the equations in question for review. The focus is on ensuring the equations accurately represent the dynamics of the robot to maintain balance.

Homework Statement


I am building a balancing robot like the one here:
http://www.geology.smu.edu/~dpa-www/robo/nbot/

It's basically a body mounted on two wheels and its purpose is to control the motors as to keep the wheels under the center of mass and therefore keep the body in an upward position.

I wrote the mechanical equations for the body and for the wheels separately, but I am not sure if they are correct. I need someone to check them, please.

Homework Equations


Are the equations in the attached photos correct?

Those were wrong.



Are there any other mistakes?
 

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 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
