AI Thread Summary
To draw an acceleration vs. displacement graph, the relationship between velocity, acceleration, and displacement is crucial. The discussion highlights that differentiating the velocity-displacement equation introduces an unnecessary variable, complicating the process. Instead, using the relation a = v * dv/ds simplifies the task. The participants confirm that they have solved the question while clarifying concerns about additional variables from differentiation. The conversation emphasizes understanding the fundamental relationships in motion to create the correct graph.

The Attempt at a Solution


I have tried to write a linear equation in v and s and then differentiating it w.r.t. to time. but I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it. It gives me a positive slope and -ve y intercept.
Also if there is/are any other ways please do tell

first write the v-s equation, but do not diffrentiate it with time(as it would add one more variable which is not needed)

Hint: What is the relation between v,a and s?
 
thanks for your reply.
i have solved the question.
1 doubt though which extra variable is generated? on differentiation
v becomes a
s becomes v
constant is eliminated

I thought 't" would create some some problems but thanks it is eliminated. You can also do it using the relation a = v*dv/ds. This was what i was referring to!
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
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...
