For the lovers of Physics



You are right in the case of T=300N, but wrong in the reaction R, which is 120N. Good try mkuu.

Computational error equation (b), should read 600-R-400=40X2=80 not 200.
hence R=120.
Gday.

Now it is evident the curve crosses the t-axis t = 2.41 and 2.42 approximately ≈ 2.416
d=g/2*t1^2
Having the value real value of t, d = 9.81x (2.416)^2/2

d≈ 28.63m

A neat ,exact and quick solution to quadratic equation is provided by quadratic formula: given ax²+bx+c=0 then x=(-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a). Another possibility is use of numerical method(an overkill for simple quadratic).
 
Hello the Physics lovers, here is another simple puzzle to remind yourself of your mechanics prowess.😇


A ring shaped elastic rubber having Mass "M" is released to slide frictionlessly outside a round conical shape cylinder to a point where it stop outside the cylinder as shown in the diagram.

Qn, Find tension force "T" in the rubber at the stoppage point, given the conical apex angle theta.

 
Haya ndio mambo yalinifanya nijibidiishe kukariri definitions tu😅
 



For the physics lovers; in the above figure, the red dots are riverts which hold together the members 1,2,3 and 4 and allow the member to move freely while the dots being axes, the blue line is a string tied from the above to the below point of the figure, given the members 1,2,3and 4 each having mass M and the angle between members 1and 2 being theta, then What is the tension T existing in the blue string R ??

NB: [Neglecting the mass of the string, the whole figure is being hanged somewhere above with a rope]
