I know this is off subject, but what do I need to load onto my computer in order to see your nicely formatted latex formulas? I can see the source code but not the resulting image.
Nice thought! I enjoy wondering about holes in the water. Not sure, but I think the holes might repel. Check out this hand-waving:)
Think of a volume of ocean with motionless water.
At a given depth beneath the surface, we make appear two ideal spheres. Since these perfectly massless...
Sorry if my question seemed trivial. At first I thought that the "holes in the water" formerly occupied by the displaced water might be modeled as having a gravitational repulsion to each other, due to all the surrounding water's gravitational attraction to itself. But each hole actually has a...
I calculated, using Newton's formula F = GmM/r^2, that the gravitational attraction between two large, full oil tankers whose sides are touching would be 1,331 lb., given the mass of each ship as 6.5 x 10^8 kg, distance between their CG's of 69 m, G = 6.674 x 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2, and 1 N = 0.2248...
