    I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand

    Originally, I thought the system was out in space, or on the international space station due to If you did mot mean to neglect gravitational affects of the earth on the water column, then why the statement? ( Posting #1 ) Label all that needs to be labelled: L1 = 1m, L2 = 4,m Piston A, Piston...

    Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)

    so you think it is a neurological,, as is the general belief, rather than a a psychiatric condition. I had the same thought. Although, the Fat is Beautiful campaigns kind of led me away from BDD being completely responsible for whole internal body image, though it might in some cases. As long...

    What type of toilet do I have?

    Toilet terminology. Who comes up with this stuff? I would call a gravity fed toilet the outhouse. :wideeyed: And the others just variants of the main style syphon. Most toilets one sees and uses are just deviations from the physical concept of the syphon. But I guess everything has to be...

    I The Physics of unloading sand from a barge

    Concrete would act as a Non-Newtonian fluid, which when under a level of stress becomes liquid and can flow. It is also non-settling, meaning that the particles and water do not separate. Sand is settling. The turbulence of the water keeps it in suspension. A minimum flow of water is needed to...

    I The Physics of unloading sand from a barge

    If water flow into the barge doesn't match output flow, then either of 2 things happen 1. Water inflow > outflow from pump -> barge fills with water 2. Water inflow < outflow from pump -> pump rums dry, slurry sand/water exceeds specs In either case, the efficiency of sand unloading...

    I The Physics of unloading sand from a barge

    The pump is fully submerged at all times, so they need 4 hoses, no more, no less. I would have liked to see the startup of the unload. With sand all around the pump, how in h..ls name did the sand, with little water I am thinking, become fluid enough to begin the pumping without clogging.
