Hiya MatStrat:
We ask that all HW and HW type threads be posted in the appropriate HW forum. I have moved your thread to the Intro Physics HW forum.

If you haven't already done so, please read the Rules of PF.

Good Luck!

I can't understand what it is that i am supposed to be finding. Everything seems to be given in the question leaving nothing left to be found.

They are asking you how much more water you have to squeeze into the tank to get the pressure up to 70 MPa.

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...
