AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the correctness of Option B for Question 8 regarding viscosity. Participants express confusion about the question's validity, suggesting that Options A and D could also be correct. The relationship between temperature and viscosity is highlighted, noting that high temperatures lead to lower viscosity and vice versa. It is emphasized that low viscosity results in higher terminal velocity due to reduced resistance, while high viscosity leads to lower terminal velocity. Ultimately, the consensus is that only one answer can be correct, raising questions about the clarity of the question itself.

The question is attatched. The question is number 8.

I simply do not understand, if the question is right at all, because I believe that options A and D are both correct. But, B it seems is the answer. High temp means low visc. and vice versa, leading to A and D being correct.

Please explain why B is correct

Low viscosity means higher terminal velocity. (Less resistance)
High viscosity means lower terminal velocity.
Only one option can be right.
 

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...
