Minimum Rod Velocity Wall

AI Thread Summary

The minimum velocity for a rod resting against a wall is determined by its stationary position, which means its velocity is 0 relative to the wall. This condition is independent of the angle at which the rod is positioned. Additional details about the rod's dimensions or the wall's properties may be necessary for a more comprehensive analysis. Understanding the mechanics of stationary objects is crucial in this context. The discussion emphasizes the importance of clarity in posing physics-related questions.

does anybody know the rules to find minimum velocy in a rod laying against the wall with specific angle??

The rule is that when an object is stationary (i.e. lying against the wall) then its velocity is 0 relative to the wall and is independent of the angle. I think you left a few details out of your question. :)

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .

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...
