    Distributed Power
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding power distribution in a static scenario involving a wheel. The original poster is attempting to calculate the resultant force at a 45-degree angle, estimating it to be around 3920 N. Participants clarify that since the system is static, the power is effectively zero, as nothing is in motion. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing that static conditions imply no power output. Overall, the key takeaway is that in a static situation, power distribution is not applicable.

I can’t get in the picture below which power I will get on the wheel, i am guessing that there will be an resultant on 45 degree with a force of around400*9,82 N.

Can you clarify the question?
 
How will the power be distributed at the wheel?
 
The power is zero, isn't it? Nothing is moving. It's a statics question?

Yes it's static :smile: ...
 

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}...
