    Most Accurate Estimate of Surface Area of a Bottle?

    What is the most accurate way to estimate the surface area of a cylindrical bottle that decreases in diameter from its wides point (the body) to the narrowest point ( the neck and cap)? It seems like we did similar problems in calculus, however: 1. I don't remember any of it, and 2. I think...

    Getting My S10 Ready for Winter Question

    I plan on putting about 200 to 300 pounds of salt in the back of my S10 to improve the traction this winter, since it is rear wheel drive only. My question: is it better to place the weight directly over the rear axel or put it as far to the rear of the truck as possible? I was thinking there...

    How Can You Determine the Size of a Hole in a Gas-Filled Container?

    Sweet Quark, Your explanation of it being in absolute pressure makes a ton of sense, I couldn't figure out why one of the other equations had 100125 in it, it makes sense now. To get the equations to work though, I had to adjust the mean pressure by subtracting 100000 from it. Why is it that...

    How Can You Determine the Size of a Hole in a Gas-Filled Container?

    Thanks Quark! I think I will stick with the equations in the reference since the pressures I am dealing with are no where near those in the link you posted, typically less than 250 Pa. I just have a couple of basic math questions about the equations. First, when I try to duplicate the...

    How Can You Determine the Size of a Hole in a Gas-Filled Container?

    Hi everyone, this is my first post here. It looks like this is a great community so I am hoping for some help in either a better explanation or different approach to my problem: How can you determine the size of a hole in a container that is filled with gas given the starting pressure, ending...
