Is a Paint Document Reliable for Answer Verification?

AI Thread Summary

A paint document was used to present an answer regarding a problem about removing heat from freezing water. The initial response was criticized for referencing melting ice, which was irrelevant since the problem involved water at 0 degrees Celsius. Clarification was provided that the heat removal process applies to water at this temperature. The discussion emphasizes the importance of accurately interpreting the problem statement. Overall, the reliability of a paint document for answer verification is questioned based on the clarity of the content presented.

You answer does not make any sense. The problem is about removing heat from freezing water. Yet you are talking about "ice melted". There was no ice to begin with, what can melt there, especially if heat was removed?

ok so the heat is being removed from the water which is initially at 0 deg celc. is this correct?

Yes, that's what the problem said.

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

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...
