To which orientation of the u-shaped tube are you referring? as having the higher system pressure. You have the pressure at point labelled 3 in Fig 3 What is the pressure at point labelled 2? And at point 1?

Video The 'system' pressure is greatest in scenario A. with the bubble at the top.

Water can be considered incompressible for the scenario. Thus the water volume in A or C will be the same. What does that tell you about the volume of air, and in turn its pressure?

There is a proliferation of AI fake content on contemporary world events. Similar to the fake news of the first presidential election of Trump where people began to realize there was such a thing. Misinformation ( unintentional untruths and opinion based, along with some disinformation ), was...

Why would one need a UV light for a furnace?? Are there cooling coils for the summer in the ductwork??

With a prolonged load, creep would become a factor, with the glass fibre then continuously having its strain increase. I suppose one could then say that the glass fibre is plasticly deformed. A thin piano wire of steel should break while experiencing little or no plastic deformation. The...

Is that true for a brittle material such as glass? For all we know the wire material in the problem may show elastic only deformation only before breaking.

Sometimes one has to read the whole problem, start to finish. That is the correct way to initially address the problem. So the answer could be B) or C) if one assumes a constant F. ie a 1 gram load will produce double the extension in the second wire if it is longer or of smaller diameter, as...

Oh sorry. I do apologize. If what I wrote turned out to appear to be a critique, it was not meant as you are well versed, having and giving great insights as anyone can see.

Once every hour, 24 times a day it happens.

Reading the comments from the video, the obviousness seems to be not ensured. A mixup of, or distinction, between velocity and distance confused a few people. One comment went against her analysis saying that the (relative) velocity must be greatest when the hands are 180 degrees apart. Although...

Mom just up and went and threw me out of the house today. Earlier, while putting on my shoes lookin out the window, I said "The evening seems calm and warm. " She has taken up walking most days to get some exercise so I added "You thinking of going for a walk." She replied "Yes, I am going for...

Northern Pacific Ocean weather during the winter months driving the water farther inland. The waves must scrape away some of the beach.

Like the Irish Elk ( of the moose family ) ie huge antlers, not sure about the loser part. Something drove the large antler selection. Perhaps larger antlers mean better health in carrying that thing around. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_elk

A female indiscriminate in choosing a partner could be at risk of not-maximizing the return on her energy input for reproduction. Can it be said that the female hooking up outside of the 'harem' is making a selection on a secondary dominant partner based upon some criteria to her liking? The...
