SSteve4Physics reacted to jbriggs444's post in the thread I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand with
Agree.
For a massless piston assembly subject to no external forces other than water pressure, the calculation for ##F_3## is immediate and... -
SSteve4Physics replied to the thread I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand.Some general comments... Units for ρ and g are essential. If the correct units aren’t clear, sometimes terrible things happen! E.g. see...

SSteve4Physics replied to the thread Adding and subtracting vectors using vector diagrams.The OP has incorrectly drawn the Post #1 diagram, believing (wrongly) that ##\vec s = \vec a + \vec b##. Then they have ignored their...

SSteve4Physics replied to the thread Adding and subtracting vectors using vector diagrams.It would be best to sort out part a) first. There are some mistakes. The first two are: 1) The diagram is wrong. When adding vectors...

SSteve4Physics replied to the thread How can we teach students the difference between sequences and series?.The difference between sequences and series is trivial. Are you sure you’ve asked what you intended? But there could be casual misuse...

SSteve4Physics reacted to tellmesomething's post in the thread What Determines the Minimum Mass of Block B for Movement on an Inclined Plane? with
Like.
Yes this was the intended question , my instructor wrote it in class on the blackboard and then he just solved it, this was the diagram... -
SSteve4Physics reacted to Herman Trivilino's post in the thread What Determines the Minimum Mass of Block B for Movement on an Inclined Plane? with Like.
It seems a lot of confusion is created for the OP when the full original problem statement is not provided. The learner may not be able...

SSteve4Physics replied to the thread What Determines the Minimum Mass of Block B for Movement on an Inclined Plane?.The intended original question is probably something like this: Block B (mass ##M##) is initially at rest, in equilibrium, on the...

SSteve4Physics replied to the thread What Determines the Minimum Mass of Block B for Movement on an Inclined Plane?.In Posts #5 and #8 I was referring only to the case of a non-oscillating mass(A) in equilibrium. I hope this was clear from what I...

SSteve4Physics reacted to nasu's post in the thread Different way to find center of mass of Hollow hemisphere with Agree.
You may get better/more answers if you formulate a more specific question rather than just this "check my work" format with three pages...

Your explanation seems quite easy to understand, and I accept your analysis.
