Attempt at solution:

I really don't know how to go about this one. I know you need to use some form of F = MA.

If you could solve this problem and show me your solution that would be greatly appreciated. And not to come off like a jerk, but please do not leave me on any lose end by giving me one part and telling me to solve the rest; I really need to see this one through :confused:.

Thanks is advance for any and all responses.

Hello Knight526806,

You did pretty well solving the answer to the last problem with your last thread.

This problem is pretty similar, so you should be able to use the last problem as a template for this one.

Sorry, but according to the forum rules, we are not allowed to work out solutions for you (even if we wanted to :-p). If you are stuck on a particular part on a problem, show us your work, and somebody might be able to point you in the right direction.
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
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...
