Solving Your Homework Problems: Using Equations to Calculate Pressure

AI Thread Summary
To calculate pressure, the relevant equation is pressure equals force divided by area (P = F/A). The standard SI units for pressure are indeed pascals (Pa), which can be expressed as kg·m^-1·s^-2. The discussion emphasizes the importance of clearly stating the specific homework problem to receive effective assistance. Additionally, participants encourage attempting to solve the problem independently before seeking help. Providing more context will facilitate better guidance in solving homework problems related to pressure calculations.

Homework Statement


Is there an equation which I can use to calculate this?


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I think the SI units for pressure are kgm^-1s^-2 but that's all I know. I have tried to put numbers into that to get an answer but I can't get it to work.

Thanks.

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 .
