In addition to the excellent posts above: Ice is floating in hot water because it has no other option, it is the less dense actor in there. Simultaneously, it is absorbing heat from (and therefore reducing the temperature of) the water and the air that is surrounding it. The recoded...

Without the energy transferred from the hot source into the cold liquid, there would not be the localized change of density; therefore, no convective movement withing the mass of liquid would be induced. Note that the internal movement or mixing depends on the location of the heat source...

I believe that there should not be steam formation below the piston on the right when water temperature is only 100 °C. Increasing the pressure at the surface of the water, also increases the boiling temperature.

The link to the PDF file seems not to be working.

Welcome! Assuming everything else being equal, the T-junction setup seems to present less resistance to the path of water to the point of discharge B into the tank (1 elbow + 1 tee). That is for the described dynamic situation (flowing water).

I believe that this is the core of the problem. They can install as much shoring as they want, but all the original structure is supporting much more dead load. It seems that calculating how close to its point of failure each existing member of that original structure may be, is an exercise...

Consider also other dimensions or manufacturer of the machine. Without a caliper, the difference of your measurement, between metric and non-metric could seem irrelevant, but it is not for the required adjustment bearing to shaft.

I have represented the horse's center of mass with no rigor at all, since I don't know where exactly it may be. What I tried representing was that both independent and separate centers of masses (horse's and rider's) create a combined imaginary center of mass, which actually works as a unique CM...

Correct. Correct. Let's assume the horse-rider assembly shown in the attached diagram is in static balance while the horse is rearing (not falling forward or rearward for an instant). For that to happen, the horse-rider's combined center of mass must be located along the represented vertical...

Welcome! Place a big sponge inside the bottle.

Since you enjoy the capability of machining a recess in the top lumbar plate surface, why not to machine the two holes and two flat circular surfaces, respectively aligned with and perpendicular to the axes of the through bolts? Without weakening the lumbar plate much (5 mm max deep slanted...

Why did you call the washer "conical" in two occasions? I can't understand the concern of your supervisor. Unless I am missing something that is evident to him, I believe that the beveled washer can't affect the 10.23° interface angle between upper and lower torso. As correctly pointed above...

It sounds more like a mechanical restriction to me. If so, the problem should be more evident when the platform is closer to being vertical and less when it is closer to being horizontal.

Welcome! It could be any of the mentioned causes, plus some unusual resistance or friction in the mechanism of the lift. Does yours look like the one in the picture?
