Fundamentals of physics book solutions

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for a solutions manual for "The Fundamentals of Physics." The original poster is studying independently and seeks help in finding solutions to the problems in the book. A participant mentions the lack of an online solutions manual but offers hardcopies of solutions for other physics textbooks. The original poster expresses frustration at not finding the desired resources and plans to continue searching online. The conversation shifts to a comparison between two physics textbooks: "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday and Resnick and "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Raymond Serway, indicating an interest in opinions on which text is superior.

Hi
Well, I am doing all the study of physics here by myself. I have The fundamentals of physics book, but all I need is the solutions to its problems. I have tried to search for such solutions but I could not find any, do you think you can help me in finding some of the solutions?

Do you mean an online solutions manual, or working the solutions out in this forum? I don't think there is an online manual. I do have solutions manuals for Halliday, Resnick and Walker from when I taught Physics I/II/III, but I have only hardcopies.
 
Well, as I said I have the book and I do study it all by myself. But sometmes I face challenging problems (who doesn't) and I was told that I can find a solution manual on the web, html or pdf. that is what I am asking for. SO can anyone help?

Unfortunately, NO :(
I am to google agian for these solutions. Thank you.

Well, I have this question now in my mind, which is better in your opinion:
Fundamentals of Physics, by Halliday and Resnick, or
Physics for Scientists and Engineers, by Raymond Serway?

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...
