Understanding Potential Between L & K Conductors

AI Thread Summary
L and K are two conductor tables, with L grounded and having a potential of zero. When a charged object is connected to K, it creates a force that pulls L and K towards each other, affecting their balance. The discussion centers on determining the charge on L when K has a charge Q. There is uncertainty about whether the charge on L is also Q, and participants are seeking proof or clarification on this point. The conversation highlights the relationship between the charges on the conductors and the implications for their balance.

L and K are two conductor tables, L is grounded (his potential is zero). In this situation the scales are balanced. To measure the charged object's potential, it is being connected to K with thin long conduct wire. just L and K are conductors. when the object is connected to K, L and K are pulling one to each other. In order to save the balance, there are mass in N.
lets say K has charge Q. I want to know what charge is there on L and Why.

I think it is also Q but i cannot prove it...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
