AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the formula x = 2l sin(x) in the context of the distance between two spheres in a pendulum setup. The original poster seeks clarification on whether this equation is derived from a trigonometric identity. Participants are encouraged to share visual aids or diagrams to facilitate understanding. The conversation emphasizes collaborative problem-solving in physics homework. Clear explanations and illustrations are requested to enhance comprehension of the topic.

Hi guys,first nice to meet you I am new here.Im working on a physics homework and i.ve already done it but i don't know why the x=2lsinx ( x=distance between 2 spheres in pendulum).
(P.S sorry for my bad english,im from Germany). Is that from a trig identity? I think I've understand it but if someone can tell mi with a pic it will be very helpful.

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 '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}...
