    Solving Centrifugal Forces in a Rotating Coordinate System

    I am also attaching picture of the figure as well as my diagram to showcase the forces. I have devised these equations because as per the question, r(A) is acting like a reference. The constraint r(A)+r(B)=l--------(i) transforms to r''(B)= - r''(A) ------- (ii) Using- F(A)-T=m(A)*r''(A)...

    Why Are Gravity Effects Neglected in Stokes Flow Analysis?

    in the limit as Re→0 , we can neglect the material derivate of v ( Dv/Dt =0 ) but why in books they always make the gravity effects equal to 0? i can't understand and no one really explains this stuff

    What is the relationship between surface tension and forces?

    Hello! To this I did what was recommended and this is what it looks like $$ F = mg $$ $$ F = \rho * V * g $$ $$ F = \ rho * \pi^2 * h * g $$ Than for the surface tension I did the same thing to get an expression for F. $$ y = \frac {F} {2 \pi r}$$ Than tried to get F out and than...

    Equilibrium Forces: Force to Move a Mass

    So I already know the normal force is 268.08 from a previous part of the question. I thought that the friction force must be less or equal to uFN for an object to stay in static equilibrium. So Tcos(angle)=uFN T=uFN/cos(angle)=116.49 But the answer is suppose to be 133.37.

    Fundamental Forces: finding velocity using different fields and forces

    So I know the acceleration is 0, so the net force is 0. QE=1.6E-3*9.9E3 k hat = 15.84 k hat (thats one force) qv x B = q(v i hat + v j hat) x (0.51 i hat + 0.10 j hat) =q(0.10 v k hat- 0.51 v k hat) =q(-0.41 v k hat) =-0.000656 v k hat Now solving for velocity, 0.000656v=15.84...

    Fundamental Forces: Force of one charged particle on another

    Forces Experienced On Moon and Earth - What is the mass?

    So, I decided to do Fg=ma I tried 25(9.8)=1.62m m= mass However, when i did it i got a mass of 151 but when i put it into its separate equations, the fg is not 25x larger so fg=ma fg=151(9.8) = 1479.8and then fg=ma fg=151(1.62)= 244.62 but 1479.8/244.62 is not 25 it ends up being 6.05...

From m2 I found 19.975 in the negative i hat and for m4 i found 29.96 in the positive k hat direction using the above equation. For m3 I used pythagorean theorem to calculate r, which was 3.25 (so r^2 was...

    Internal forces converting kinetic into potential energy (vice versa)

    Hello, Trivial question: a system is isolated and all its internal forces are conservative. Because of Newton's 3rd law, all internal forces are pairwise and the net internal force is always zero (regardless of the forces being conservative or not) hence the system's total momentum is conserved...
