What is the Direction of Resultant Force on a Stationary Vane Caused by Water?

AI Thread Summary
The resultant force on a stationary vane caused by water is indeed opposite to the force exerted by the vane on the water. This means that if the vane acts on the water in a certain direction, the resultant force acting on the vane will be directed oppositely. The discussion suggests that the resultant force should act to the right and upwards. This conclusion aligns with the principles of action and reaction forces. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for solving related physics problems effectively.

Homework Statement


in the calculation , the direction of resultant force that we got is the force of vane act on water , right ? to get the resultant force act on vane ? it should be opposite to the force of vane act on water , am i right ? IMO , the resultant force at stationary vane (which is caused by water) should be act to right and upwards , am i correct ?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

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 hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging 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...
