AI Thread Summary
To convert W²/NJHz to MKS units, start with the expression W²/NJHz. Substitute W with J/s, leading to (J/s)² in the numerator. This simplifies to J²/s², and substituting J with Nm gives (Nm)²/s². After canceling units, the final result simplifies to m/s, confirming the conversion is correct.

Just plug those values into the expression and cancel everything that can be canceled.
 
\frac{W^2}{NJHz} <br /> = \frac{(\frac{J}{s})^2}{NJ\frac{1}{s}} <br /> = \frac{\frac{J}{s}}{N} <br /> = \frac{Nm}{Ns} <br /> = \frac{m}{s}<br />

is this right?

Thanks Man...:-p
 
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...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
