    Integrals Shock wave
AI Thread Summary
Key equations in shock wave analysis often require a deep understanding of fluid dynamics and intuitive grasp of the concepts involved. Participants express confusion about the behavior of shock wave tails and seek clarity on fundamental principles. The discussion highlights the importance of foundational knowledge before tackling complex topics, as many find the material challenging. Concerns are raised about the effectiveness of instructional videos in conveying these concepts. A solid grasp of the basics is essential for progressing in shock wave analysis.

Homework Statement
I don't understand anything they do after 1:26 constructing the first diagram ("the zooming in part") and devising the integral.
Relevant Equations
provided here from 1:26 ONWARDS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er512TwsxNM&t=86s
the attempted is the above ex. i needa justify why and figure out the reason behind those relevant equations.

Are you puzzled at the way the left and right tails become horizontal?

puzzled at everything. may someone start from scratch
 
If most of the video is puzzling, maybe is not the right point for you to start?

well most of it requires intuition, no?
 
I've only looked at the zooming in part so far, and might not get further today, but it does not give me great confidence in the tutor.
 
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...
