AI Thread Summary
To calculate the power needed to move 1,972,080 gallons of water at a constant speed of 25 mph, one must consider the water's weight and the required flow rate. The total weight of the water is approximately 16,500,000 pounds, and the flow rate translates to a significant volume per second. The power calculation involves using the formula for hydraulic power, which incorporates flow rate and pressure. Additionally, factors such as friction and pump efficiency must be accounted for to obtain an accurate estimate. Understanding these principles will help in designing a system capable of achieving the desired water movement.

does anyone know how i could go about calculating how much power is needed to move 1,972,080 gallons of water at a constant rate of 25mph or 475,200,000 ft/s?...my friend and i are trying to figure out how to draw up a pool of water that would do this and i don't know how i could go about solving that...the dimensions of the pool are 120x110x20 ft ergo giving the gallons of water i stated above. thank you for your time.

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
