Gears Kinematics Motion Rotational Rotational motion

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the kinematics of rotational motion, specifically regarding the initial velocity and time for Gear A and its implications for Gear B/Drum C. It confirms that the initial velocity (Vi=0) and time (t=12s) can indeed be assumed for Gear B/Drum C, as they are part of the same system. There is a clarification needed regarding the difference between displacement and velocity in the context of the homework question. The participants agree on the application of rotational and translational kinematics. Overall, the conversation emphasizes understanding the relationships between the gears in rotational motion.

Homework Statement

Since
Gear A
--------
Vi=0
t=12s
θ=40∏

as given in the question, can I assume that Vi=0 t=12s for Gear B/Drum C as well?
If not why?

Thanks..

You can apply rotational and translational kinematic.
For question (d) the question is displacement, answer given velocity

Thanks for the clarification.

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...
