Cylinder Cylindrical Fluid Rotation

AI Thread Summary

The discussion clarifies the difference between zs and hc in the context of fluid mechanics within a cylindrical cylinder. hc represents the height from the bottom of the liquid to the free surface, while zs indicates the height at a specific point on the liquid surface. Both measurements are crucial for understanding fluid behavior in cylindrical containers. The distinction is important for solving related fluid dynamics problems. Accurate identification of these heights is essential for applying relevant equations effectively.

hc is the height at the very bottom of the liquid surface, and zs is the height at an arbitrary location on the liquid surface.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
