AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a physics problem related to finding the values of dx and its magnitude. The user expresses uncertainty about their calculations and seeks clarification on their approach. They established a coordinate system with the positive x-axis as east and the positive y-axis as north, indicating that movements to the west and south are negative. The user calculates dx as -181.6 and dy as 72 but questions the correctness of their values after changing bx and cy. The thread emphasizes the need for peer review of the calculations to ensure accuracy.

In calculating OA, you established that the positive x-axis was east and the positive y-axis is north. That means that any movement to the west or south is negative.
 
i don't get it ,can you explain which one i did wrong ?thanks
 
i got dx= -181.6 dy= 72, you was right, i have change bx= -400 and cy -188

please check if i 'm wrong

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

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 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
