AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on how the distance between the pivot point (a) and the connection point (b) on a rotating wheel affects the torque applied to the wheel. It highlights that the wheel is not fixed to the shaft, which raises questions about the method of torque application. The influence of this distance on torque is critical for understanding the mechanics of the system. Clarification is sought on the specific way torque is being applied to the wheel. Understanding these dynamics is essential for analyzing the performance of rotating systems.

there is a wheel. A shaft which rotates about a pivot point a is connected to the wheel
at the point b. what is the influence of the distance a to b in the torque applied to the wheel . the wheel just rests on the shaft at point a and it is not welded to the shaft.

Didnt get your question,how exactly are you applying the torque?
 
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...
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 .
