Pendulum rotating about an axis

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the analysis of forces acting on a pendulum rotating about the z-axis. There is confusion regarding the correct application of equations for balancing forces, particularly in the resolution of forces into components. It is emphasized that while forces can be decomposed into orthogonal components, they should not be treated as additive beyond their original form. Clarity in identifying actual forces and specifying the direction of analysis for each equation is recommended. The need for a precise problem statement is highlighted to facilitate further assistance.

I think you are marking too many forces on your diagram.
When you resolve a force into components, you are saying those components are equivalent to that original force. They don't add to it.
You can replace a force by two orthogonal components, but you can't keep taking more bits in other directions.

Identify clearly the actual forces, then in your calculations, use their components to produce balanced equations.
It might even help to say for each equation, what direction you are looking at.
 
I would love to help with this problem, but I have no idea what question you're trying to answer. What is the exact problem statement?
 

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}...
