Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a problem related to the conservation of angular momentum, specifically in the context of two cylinders in contact. The original poster attempts to apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum but finds a discrepancy between their results and the provided answers.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster questions the validity of their method applied at the point of contact between the cylinders, seeking clarification on why their answer differs from the expected result. Participants inquire about the specifics of the calculations and the nature of the discrepancies.

Discussion Status

Participants are engaged in clarifying the original poster's approach and the details of the problem. There is an ongoing effort to understand the differences in answers, with suggestions for sharing relevant images to facilitate the discussion.

Contextual Notes

There are constraints regarding the sharing of images, as the original poster's link to a Google Drive image is inaccessible to others. Participants are discussing how to properly upload images to the forum for better clarity.

3.for the above question I tried applying conservation of angular momentum about the point of contact where the cyclinders touch each other but my answer does not match with the answer given by them .why is my method wrong?

You can’t link to google drive images like that - you might see them, but no one else can access them.

Even with a working image (in a new post of you can’t edit the old one any more), it would help to see what exactly you did, and what the two different answers are.

It would be helpful if you could tell me how to upload an image because I do not know how to do it

You will find the Upload botton right below the input text window.
 
Download it to your computer, then use the upload function of the forum.

If the image is publicly accessible on the web you can directly include it in the way you tried, but it has to be accessible by everyone to make that work.
