Yes, I agree with that. Prior to correcting it, I had written about points 1 and 2. I meant to refer to points 1 and 3. In both...

Agreed. Agreed. What increases compared to what? What specific point are you claiming does not change in pressure compared to the...

I have that T-shirt.

To which orientation of the u-shaped tube are you referring? as having the higher system pressure. You have the pressure at point...

*sigh*. Now I will need to watch the video to see what it is actually claiming... Having watched the beginning of the video, I see that...

Right The second part here is correct. That means that the fluid pressure at the air-water interface is sure to be one atmosphere. The...

Yes. Have you considered applying Boyle's law?

Why should it? Are there any specific confounding concerns that you have in mind?

Here's one way to look at it... For a given material, there is a unique maximum value of strain, ##\epsilon_{max}##, at which fracture...

The given answer does not require exact linearity.

Given a set of all sets, one can define the set of all sets not containing themselves. Then you ask yourself, does this set contain...

Only in the limiting case where ##m_1## is zero. In other words, you have an ideal pulley and you hang two objects such that the mass...

If you put the value of the tension ##2T = \dfrac{4m_1m_2}{m_1+m_2}g## and subtract it from the force due to gravity ##(m_1+m_2)g##, it...

Right. That external agent is, of course, the tension in the rope. Right. The center of mass of the two masses is accelerating...

Accelerating upward at 1g is different from freely falling downward at 1g. One requires an external force. The other does not.
