How Do I Solve This Rotational Motion Problem?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on solving a rotational motion problem, with the original poster seeking assistance. They provided images of the problem and their initial attempt at a solution, questioning the validity of using tan37° in their calculations. Participants suggested recalculating the moment around points A or B and emphasized the need to consider all acting forces. Ultimately, the original poster resolved the issue by recognizing their oversight in accounting for all forces involved. The problem was successfully clarified, leading to a solution.

Try to calculate moment around point A or B. I don't think your equation tan37° is valid.

Thanks dear, I got the answer. I was making the last equation in the wrong manner. I was only considering N1 ans N2 and forgot about the other forces which are acting there.
 
The problem has been cleared.
 

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 '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 .
