AI Thread Summary
The experiment investigates the bending of a ruler at various points when a mass is suspended from it, with one end fixed to a table. Observations indicate that the bending behavior resembles a logarithmic curve. This phenomenon can be explained by principles from the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation, which describes the relationship between load and deflection in beams. The discussion seeks further insights into the underlying mechanics of this bending behavior. Understanding these concepts can enhance knowledge of material properties and structural engineering.

Hello guys. I was doing an experiment on how much a ruler bends at different points when a mass is hung from it. In the experiment, one end is fixed to the table and a mass is hung from the ruler at different points. The relationship seems to resemble a logarithmic curve. Any explanations for this?

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
