Torque

AI Thread Summary

To solve part (D) using torque equations, the torque equation τ = rFsin(θ) is essential, along with trigonometric functions to separate the x and y components. Successful completion of parts (a), (b), and (c) is crucial, as part (D) closely resembles part (c) in its setup. The challenge lies in correctly applying these principles to establish the equations needed for part (D). Ensuring that previous parts are solved accurately will facilitate the process. Proper understanding of torque and its components is key to finding the solution.

I know that the problem involves using the toque=rFsin(theta) equation, as well as trig to break up the x and y components, but I'm having a real hard time setting up the equations to solve part (D).

If you set up / solved parts (a), (b) and (c) correctly, part (d) is similar to (c). Have you?

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 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

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...
