AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a physics problem involving forces in three dimensions. The initial poster expresses confusion about where to start and questions the use of the distance formula for a two-dimensional approach. They consider breaking down the forces into their x, y, and z components for easier calculation. Ultimately, the poster successfully figures out the direction of each force. The conversation highlights the importance of component analysis in solving multi-dimensional force problems.

How would you solve this if it were in 2 dimensions?
 
By using the distance formula? I tried doing that but I must be doing it wrong.
 
Start by finding the x, y, and z components of each force and adding them?

Can you find the direction of each force (x,y,z) to start with?
 
I figured it out. Thanks =]

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...

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...
