Mass Ratio Speed

AI Thread Summary

When mass M is displaced downward through a distance D, the speed ratio of the displaced mass m to the mass M is v/V = 2. This indicates that mass m moves twice as far as mass M. Additionally, mass m achieves twice the speed and experiences twice the magnitude of acceleration compared to mass M. The relationship highlights the dynamics of displacement and acceleration in this context. Understanding this ratio is crucial for analyzing motion in physics.

so if M is displaced downward through a distance of D, is the ratio of v/V=2 (v is the speed of m and V is the speed of M)

Yes, m moves twice as far as M with twice the speed and twice the magnitude of acceleration.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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...
