AI Thread Summary
To solve the problem of an object weighing 8526 Newtons hanging at a 5-degree angle while a trolley accelerates, the key is to apply the principles of classical mechanics. The acceleration can be determined using the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, specifically the equation a = f/m. The force acting on the object can be calculated using f = 8526 * tan(5°), resulting in a force of approximately 745 Newtons. Understanding how to incorporate the angle into the calculations is crucial for finding the correct acceleration of the load. Proper guidance on applying these equations will help in solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



A object with a weight of 8526 Newton hangs at a angle of 5 deg below a crane while the trolley accelerates.

What is the acceleration of the load ?

Homework Equations



none given

The Attempt at a Solution



i don't know which equation i should use ? i know acceleration is a = Dv / Dt but none of
this is given, only the angle that is created by inertia holding back the object ?

will figure it out myself i just need guidance on what to use for the problem

thanx :)

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...
