Thanks Doc AI
That was the answer I was looking for. I assumed the solid side would have a neutral buoyancy (the wheel having the same density as water) but if buoyancy does not effect the side with the air pocket it will not effect the solid side ether. So the wheel behaves the same whether...
Hi all,
In the attached image I have a cylinder shaped wheel with a air pocket embedded near its edge. The wheel has the same density as water and is fully submerged in a tank of water. Also the wheel is only free to spin about its center axis. If the wheel is rotated down the air pocket will...
