AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the absence of moment restrictions in a structural diagram, specifically questioning why moments M_AZ and M_AX are not indicated. It is clarified that the hinge at point C and the bearing at point A prevent any rotational motion, meaning the structure remains stable without additional moment restrictions. The focus shifts to balancing the applied load and reaction forces as the primary concern. The lack of moment restrictions is attributed to the structural configuration that inherently limits rotation. Overall, the structural design effectively eliminates the need for moment restrictions in this case.

the whole structure wouldn't turn about x , y, and z direction , am i right ? why there are no moment restriction in this case(bottom) just in the above case , namely M_AZ and M_AX

The placement of the hinge at C and the bearing at A pretty much eliminate the possibility of any rotational motion. All that's left is to balance the applied load and the reaction forces.

ya , why no sign of restriction of moment are indicated on the diagram ?
 
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 .
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...
