AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving for the variable x in a force-related equation. Participants suggest multiplying out x, collecting like terms, and then dividing to isolate x. An example equation presented is 1.723x = 0.1 + x, which leads to rearranging terms to solve for x. The conversation emphasizes the importance of manipulating the equation correctly to find the solution. Overall, the focus is on algebraic methods for solving equations involving force.

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...

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 .
