    Cylinder with a horizontal tube (Fluid dynamics problem)

    I'll call ##v_2## the flow speed on the horizontal tube and ##v_1## the lowering speed of the column. Even if the lowering speed isn't negligible, the problem says "...when the plug has been removed", so can I consider the height unchanged? In order to find the force, I need the pressure when...

    Need help with a force calculation (deformation of a cylinder)

    Trying to calculate the force required to deform a cross section of a solid cylinder. To create an image, imagine a cylinder laying on a flat surface, and then a section of it defined as a length of X, being subjected to a compressive load. I'm trying to find the correct formula for this. Any...

    A cylinder full of water with two holes at different heights

    This is what I did: I know that ##v_1=\sqrt{2gh_1}## and ##v_2=\sqrt{2gh_2}## thanks to Bernoulli's principle. Using equations of parabolic motion I get ##h-h_1-\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{d}{v_1})^2=0## and ##h-h_1-\frac{1}{2}g(\frac{d}{v_2})^2=0##. This means I have two equations in two unknowns...

    Amount of magnetic energy stored in a cylinder

    I first calculated Magnetic field at a distance x using Ampere's law.Then i took an element and wrote its inductance using L=Flux/Current. Then i integrated from a to b. But i arrived at nothing. Help.

    Master and Slave Cylinder at different heights

    I think I've made sense of this. m: master, s:slave Fm/Am = Fs/As Fs = As(Fm/Am) Fs = (As)ρghm So with that said, if the height of the master cylinder increases then the F produced by the slave will also increase. Anyone see any problems here? My concern is that P = ρgh isn't applicable...

    Question about friction in a problem with a stick and cylinder

    The friction from the rod and the friction from the plane on the cylinder should be the same due to torque equilibrium on the cylinder. If we let N_1 be the normal force on the rod and N_2 be the normal force on the cylinder from the plane, I expected µN_1 = µN_2. Looking at torque on the rod...
