    Mechanics Section
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a homework problem in mechanics, specifically focusing on sections of a physics assignment. The user has completed the first section and believes they have solved the second but seeks confirmation and assistance with the remaining sections. They express uncertainty regarding the application of conservation of momentum, particularly concerning the mass involved in the problem. The request emphasizes the need for others to post their solutions to verify correctness and provide guidance. Clear communication of solutions using symbolic names is encouraged for effective collaboration.

Homework Statement


I solved the first section.
The second section true I think.
I solved but I want you to tell me that .
And the other sections that I do not already know how to solve them, if someone can target me?

Homework Equations


in the poto 2-5.
but 5 and 4 less relevant that the others .

The Attempt at a Solution


at section 2 Conservation of momentum .
I have doubts about the little mass to be considered

Hint: The bead accelerates along the "rainbow" portion.
 
It's does not help me so mach.
I do not know if you refer to the circle or do simple momentum conservation.

Please post your solution and working. Use only the symbolic names given (m, M etc.); please do not substitute any numerical values.
 
So do you need help with question number 3?
If you want to know if your answers for 1 and 2 is correct you need to post your solution here.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging 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...
