Monkey force diagram and tension problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving a 5kg monkey hanging from two vines, A and B. Participants are asked to create a force diagram that labels all forces acting on the monkey without resolving them into components. Additionally, they need to calculate the tension in vine B while the monkey is at rest, providing relevant equations and showing initial attempts at a solution. The focus is on understanding the forces involved and applying physics principles to solve for tension. Clear communication of the problem and requirements for assistance is emphasized.

1. Homework Statement

A 5kg monkey hangs initially at rest from two vines, A and B, as shown in the JPEG attached. Each of the vines is 10m long and has negligible mass.

a) Draw a force diagram labeling all forces acting on the monkey. (do not resolve the forces into components, indicate their directions though.)

b) What's the tention in vine B while the monkey is at rest?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
