I don't think you've misrepresented Gödel's incompleteness theorems. He proved that any axiomatizable system is either incomplete, or, if it had an infinite amount of axioms (which would make it complete), would become undecidable.

Another question. If I solve for VC and I'm ending up with a negative square root, does that just mean the siphon won't flow? For example, the height of the starting point of my siphon is at, say, x=0. The end of the siphon is at x=-20m (20 meters below the start point). Also, the pressure at...

I understand now. Thanks a lot for you help.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this (because it isn't homework), but it could easily be a homework question. This wiki page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon#Explanation_using_Bernoulli.27s_equation", shows how to apply Bernoulli's equation to a siphon where both the surface...
