[Paper and presentation] Mechanics in Computer

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a group assignment to write a paper and presentation about mechanics, specifically rotational mechanics in CD-ROMs. The original poster seeks feedback on the chosen topic and suggestions for additional resources, including articles, images, and videos. A participant suggests exploring the evolution of rotational mechanics from CD-ROMs to HD-DVD/Blu-ray as an interesting angle. The original poster has encountered difficulties finding useful resources, noting that some links provided were not informative. The conversation highlights the need for credible sources to support the research on this topic.

Homework Statement


Hi guys!
I have pre-midterm assignment in group to write a paper an d a presentation on the screen about mechanics. My group gives me a job to decide more specific topic and to search the matter (articles, pictures, videos, etc.) also about that specific one.
Do you think our topic is good? Any other interesting or hot topic (due to the trend of mechanics research recently)?

Homework Equations


Equations would be essential in that paper: I think it would be such:
\theta=\theta_0+\omega_0t+ \frac{1}{2} \alpha \ t^2
or
F=ma

The Attempt at a Solution


Actually I have decide the specific topic is: rotational mechanics in CD-ROM, :wink:.
I have tried picture-googling to find a CD picture, and see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-ROM" .
Youtube also would be very valuable in search of video.
What kind of other matters I was suggested to search? Where?

If you want to go with your cdrom topic, you could talk about how the rotational mechanics stuff changed going from CDROMS to HD-DVD/Blu Ray.
 
I find in Halliday-Resnick a link to explore mechanics in cd. www.sigcat.org
But, actually after I check this, the page is not helpful. Even, I think it is a commercial link, not a knowledgeable link
 
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}...
