AI Thread Summary
The speed of the electric mixer affects the tape stuck to the beater due to the forces acting on it. At low speeds, the centrifugal force is insufficient to overcome the adhesive force of the tape, keeping it attached. As the speed increases, the centrifugal force becomes greater, allowing the tape to detach. Static friction does not play a role in this scenario because it only affects the initial state of the tape's adhesion, not the forces in motion. Understanding the balance of these forces clarifies why higher speeds lead to the tape flying off.

when you're done using an electric mixer, you can get most of the batter off the beaters by lifting them out of the batter with the motor running at a high enough speed. Let's imagine, to make things easier to visualize, that we instead have a piece of tape stuck to one of the beaters.
1) explian why static friction has no effect on whether or not the tape files off

2) suppose you find that the tape doesn't fly off when the motor is on a low speed, but speeding it up does cause it to fly off, why would the greater speed change things

Hi viviseraph00! Welcome to PF! :smile:

We can't answer the questions for you, but here's a hint to get you started …

what are the names and directions of all the forces involved? :wink:
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
