AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the dynamics of a mass attached to a spring on an inclined frictionless surface, specifically analyzing the angular speed of a pulley when the spring returns to its unstretched state. The energy conservation equation is presented, equating initial and final energy states, incorporating kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and spring potential energy. The derived formula for angular speed (w) is confirmed as correct by participants. Additionally, there is a request for guidance on how to attach an image file for better illustration of the problem. The conversation emphasizes the importance of visual aids in understanding complex physics problems.

inclined frictionless surface, end of string attached to polly (polly at top of the incline), and other end attached to a mass(m) and mass is attahed to one end of a spring, and the other end is attached to incline base
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A polly has radius (R) and moment of inertia (I), the surface is frictionless. The polly is wound clockwise to stretch the spring a distance (d) from its unstretched position and then released from rest. Find the angular speed when the spring is again unstretched or compressed.


Answer:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(E)final = (E)initial
final[(0.5)mv^2 + (0.5)(I)w^2 + mgh + (0.5)kd^2] = initial [(0.5)mv^2 + (0.5)(I)w^2 + mgy + (0.5)kd^2]

where (w) is omega, (y) is inital vertical distance from object to ground
and (h) is final vertical distance from object to ground
v(initial)=0 , w(initial)=0 , v=Rw

from that:

w = sqrt [(2mg(h-y) + kd^2) / (mR^2 + I)]

is that right ?? please i really need to know
thnx a lot for any efforts
if u know how can i attach image file please inform me

A picture would help. Use the "attach file" feature. (Edit your post; then use the feature to attach a file.)
 


Yes, your solution is correct. To attach an image file, you can use the "attach file" button or icon in your email or messaging platform. If you are using a social media platform, you can upload the image as a post or direct message. If you are still having trouble attaching the image, you can try searching for tutorials specific to the platform you are using or reach out to their customer support for assistance.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
