I have asked a question relating to how I have approached a problem. My reason for asking the question was my answers seem to be unrealistic. The question is here:
How to calculate force on a string pinned to a spinning object
It was put on hold reasonably soon after I asked the question. I just want to confirm if what the reason for it being put on hold was so I can better phrase the question. The reason give was:
Homework-like questions should ask about a specific physics concept and show some effort to work through the problem. We want our questions to be useful to the broader community, and to future users. See our meta site for more guidance on how to edit your question to make it better
My question was clearly about a specific physics concept, and I've clearly found and tried to apply an equation to work through the problem (not that it's homework). I've also reduced my problem to the simplest model I could so it was useful to the broader community. So I'm not sure the given reason really applies. Clarification/advice on what changes would be appropriate would be very helpful.
