    Anxiety Exam
AI Thread Summary
Exam anxiety can create mental blocks that hinder performance, even when a student is capable of solving problems at home. To combat this, it's suggested to reframe the exam experience as similar to practicing at home, reducing the pressure associated with testing. Engaging in relaxation techniques before the exam can also help alleviate stress. Focusing on the problem-solving process rather than the exam itself may enhance confidence and performance. Adopting these strategies can lead to improved outcomes in test situations.

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...
