AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving for the variable v in a physics equation related to optics. The initial attempt at a solution yielded a value of -1.06 cm, indicating the position relative to a wall. Participants noted the absence of a clear problem statement, which hindered the ability to provide assistance. Eventually, the original poster acknowledged a mistake in their calculations. The conversation highlights the importance of clearly presenting problems in physics for effective collaboration.

Homework Statement



the ans is B for this question

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


my working is 1.59/2.0 + 1/v = (modulus of 1-1-59) /( -4 )
my v is -1.06cm. which is 1.06cm to the right from the tleft wall of plastic ball

It's going to awfully hard for anyone to give you any help based on the total lack of a problem statement.

you could draw a ray diagram to locate the image.
 
Sorry, I have found my mistake finally
 
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
Thread 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'
Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
