AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving the equation Ro + 0.4Ro = 140, leading to the conclusion that Ro equals 100. The calculation steps include combining terms to get 1.4Ro = 140 and then dividing by 1.4 to isolate Ro. Participants confirm the correctness of the solution, noting the implicit coefficient of 1.0 in front of Ro. The clarity of the formula and the steps involved are emphasized for understanding. The final answer is verified as accurate.

1. I have a formula and for some reason can't grasp it



2. Ro + 0.4Ro = 140
Answer is Ro = 100



3. Ro + 0.4Ro = 140
1+0.4 Ro = 140
1.4 Ro = 140
140 / 1.4 = Ro

Is this correct

Yes.

There is an assumed 1.0 in front of the Ro.

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 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
