AI Thread Summary
Hydraulic braking systems utilize key equations such as F1 = (A1/A2)F2 and F1/A1 = F2/A2, which relate force and area in the system. The user seeks assistance with calculations for an assignment but struggles to find relevant information online. They express uncertainty about the equations and their applications. Additionally, a correction is made regarding the terminology, emphasizing "braking" instead of "breaking." Overall, the discussion highlights a need for clarity on hydraulic system equations for educational purposes.

Homework Statement



ok so it isn't exactly a problem. i just need to know some equations i can use in relation to a hydraulic breaking system i don't mind what, but if someone could just give me a calculation i can do for an assignment that would be great. thank you


Homework Equations


F1=(A1/A2)F2

(im not actually sure what that is)

F1/A1 = F2/A2


The Attempt at a Solution



i tryed typing things into google to get answers to different things, but i couldn't find anything useful



i know this isn't a normal homework question but if someone could please help me out that would be great

I'm no fluid dynamics expert, however, I believe I can help your future Google searches: it's braking, not breaking.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
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...
