Machine Dynamics: Manual Air Pump Calculation (please check my answer)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a problem related to manual air pump calculations that the original poster has been struggling with for a week. They believe they have a solution but feel something is incorrect and seek assistance in identifying the issue. Participants note the image provided is unclear and request the poster to share their calculations as per forum guidelines. There is a debate about the interpretation of the steady velocity of point C, with suggestions that it may refer to tangential speed rather than linear velocity. Overall, the community is eager for clearer details to help resolve the problem effectively.

The image is a bit too fuzzy for me to read. Please type in your working, as required by the forum rules.
 
Should we assume that the mentioned steady velocity of point C is a vector always perpendicular to CO?

I assumed it meant a steady tangential speed, not linear velocity.
I haven't come across this velocity diagram technique before. As far as I can make out, the solution is obtained by measurements from a scale drawing, not by algebra.
 
Thank you, haruspex.
I hope the OP can soon show us his work more clearly.
 

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 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
