A cylinder of mass m is free to slide in a vertical tube. The kinetic friction force between the cylinder and the walls of the t

ube has magnitude f. You attach the upper end of a lightweight vertical spring of force constant k to the cap at the top of the tube, and attach the lower end of the spring to the top of the cylinder. Initially the cylinder is at rest and the spring is relaxed. You then release the cylinder. What vertical distance will the cylinder descend before it comes momentarily to rest? Express your answer in terms of the variables m, f, and constants g, k.

Answer:

x = (mg-f)/k

Explanation:

there are three forces acting on cylinder in a tube, (1) force due to spring = -kx (2) force due to friction = f (3) force due to gravity.

we want to calculate an instant when all three forces acting on mass cancel and there is 0 net force  and cylinder momentiraly comes to stop.

let's write it in mathematics.

kx+f-mg=0 (kx is positive because it is upwards and that is how we have setup our coordinate axis in this problem).

solving for x gives.

x = (mg-f)/k.

When it comes to optics, Snell's law is the basic formula to be used. If you notice, when light hits the water, the light does not travel in the same direction. After, it hits the water, it changes in angle. Light becomes refracted. This is observed when your hands tend to become bigger if you place it underwater. The formula for Snell's Law is

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂, where n is the index of refraction. This depends on the type of medium. For example, for air, n=1. The parameters θ₁ is the angle of incidence, and θ₂ is the angle of refraction. Critical angle is the incident angle needed so that the refract angle is 90°. So, modifying the equation:

n₁ sin θcrit = n₂sin 90°, since sin 90°=1,
sin θcrit = n₂/n₁
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (n₂/n₁)

Since liquid comes first before glass, n₁=1.75 and n₂=1.52. Substituting,
θcrit = sin ⁻¹ (1.52/1.75)
θcrit = 60.29°
