AI Thread Summary
To calculate the force exerted by the fish on the fishing reel, the torque equation (Torque = I * alpha) is applied, where I is the moment of inertia (I = 1/2 * m * r^2) and alpha is the angular acceleration. Given the mass of the reel (0.623 kg), radius (1.83 cm), and the restraining torque (0.614 N·m), the necessary calculations involve converting the radius to meters and substituting the values into the equations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using a free body diagram to visualize forces and torques acting on the system. Participants are encouraged to show their work and reasoning to clarify their understanding of the problem. Ultimately, the goal is to determine the force in newtons exerted by the fish on the line.

Homework Statement



A cylindrical fishing reel has a mass of
0.623 kg and a radius of 1.83 cm. A fric-
tion clutch in the reel exerts a restraining
torque of 0.614 N · m if a fish pulls on the line.
The fisherman gets a bite, and the reel be-
gins to spin with an angular acceleration of
49.1 rad/s2.
What force does the fish exert on the line?
Answer in units of N

Homework Equations


Torque=I(alpha)
I=1/2mr^2
(torque)=rfsin(theta)

The Attempt at a Solution


Is it as easy (torque)=rF?

You are required to show something here. A free body diagram would be good, plus any thoughts, a description of what you have tried (with working) or an explanation of why you cannot get started.
 

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...
