AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a physics problem involving a 1.50 kg wine bottle in a rack angled at 30 degrees, requiring the calculation of forces F1 and F2. The original poster believes their teacher's values of F1=25.46 Newtons and F2=29.4 Newtons are incorrect and seeks to prove this. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the problem and correcting one's approach rather than simply trying to prove someone wrong. The conversation highlights the need for a constructive attitude towards learning and problem-solving in physics. Ultimately, the focus should be on grasping the concepts rather than challenging authority.

2. A 1.50 kg bottle of wine sits in a wine rack as pictured below. The sides of the rack form an angle of 30 degrees. Find the force exerted by the wine bottle on each side of the rack. what is F1 and F2?

my teacher says that F1=25.46 Netowns and F2= 29.4 Newtons
 
We don't provide answers or solutions, you need to show your own working and explain why you think your teacher is wrong.
 
I agree with your teacher and I disagree with your attitude.

"I need to prove my teacher wrong." Really, how about trying:

"How am I doing this wrong? What do I need to do to fix my mistake?"
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
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...
