    High School Buoyancy and gravity

    Buoyancy is about the weight of the displaced liquid respect to the weight of the boat. At half gravity intensity, both weights would be cut in half alike. At increased gravity by artificial means, both weights would be increased at the same rate. The line of flotation of the boat should remain...

    If Heat Is Motion, Why Isn’t All Motion Heat?

    How would you define organized and disorganized types of motion? To me, your answer is correct. Thermal energy is all about the frequency rate at which a group of molecules vibrate or oscillate. Transfer of that thermal energy is all about the rate at which molecules interact or collide with...

    Why does a fan cool you in a sealed room if it adds heat?

    Because the temperature of the skin is greater than the temperature of the air flowing over it. Note how people living in desert regions insulate themselves from air that is hotter than their skins. Heat always flow naturally from a hot source to a cold sink. The rate at which that heat...

    Positive wing wash-in dynamic soaring one side

    Could you please explain what do you mean by "left wing wash in"? How is the right wing different from the left one? If both differ, what is the purpose of that intentional lack of aerodynamical symmetry? Thank you and welcome!

    Engineering Shear Stress Question (Rocker Arm & pin diameter)

    Your equations and results are correct. I would skip the calculation of the moments in balance, because the pin B is not resisting any of it.

    High School Rubber band: More or less force to stretch at the beginning?

    Also, that behavior dramatically changes with age (exposition time to UV light and ozone) and temperature. If some kind of friction is involved in the deformation, lubrication also changes the behavior much.

    High School Rubber band: More or less force to stretch at the beginning?

    Welcome! :smile: Please, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis#Elastic_hysteresis You can experiment yourself, and feel higher resistance at the beginning of a deformation induced by a force. Motorcycle's tires do not like sudden applications of loads, according to my personal...

    A very simple moments question

    Torque-free hinges are freely articulated or pinned connections between two members of any structure or armature, or between one member and a solid basement, like the ground, or a wall, or a concrete slab. Those are unable to resist a circular movement with an opposite moment or torque...

    A very simple moments question

    I would like you to study the following link, which shows how internal forces transfer the external load to the wall: https://www.jlconline.com/Training-the-Trades/beam-stress-and-strain-a-lesson-in-statics_o Bending stress is frequently avoided because it induces internal tension, compression...

    Undergrad Pumping liquid around and draining a part of it, how much is lost?

    No considering any possible effect of air, the volume of pumped liquid should decrease as the level in the container decreases.

    Simple Thermodynamics question: Temperature of water in a cup after adding cooler water to it

    Since there is no energy loss to the environment in this case, the initial thermal energy of each mass of liquid becomes the final thermal energy of the mix. Please, see: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/heat-capacity-d_338.html...

    Simple Thermodynamics question: Temperature of water in a cup after adding cooler water to it

    Correction: Then we are adding 0,35 kg of water at 20 °C into the cup. Could you show us how did you arrive to that amount?

    A very simple moments question

    Not if you look at your system as a whole, which is actually remaining in static balance while supporting exterior forces. Please, take a glimpse to the diagram shown in post #6 above. Just asking you again: What do you consider to be your system in static equilibrium? Analysis of the many...
