    Cause Pressure
AI Thread Summary
Excessive pressure in a sealed film packet could potentially lead to slicing, but it is unlikely due to the even distribution of pressure exerted by the liquid. For slicing to occur, a significant amount of pressure would need to be concentrated on a small surface area, similar to how a pressure washer operates. The discussion suggests that without a defect in the film material, it is hard to imagine how the liquid could slice through. The consensus leans towards the idea that defects in the film would be more likely to cause such an issue than pressure alone. Overall, while pressure can influence the integrity of the film, slicing is not a typical outcome without specific conditions.

Could too much pressure cause liquid inside of a film container ( There is a sheet of film, which is formed into a packet, the liquid is then put inside the packet, then the film is sealed) to slice through like a knife or some sort of sharp object had been used to cut it? If so, about how much pressure would be needed?

liquid in such a situation would exert pressure equally over the surface of the film..so it's hard to imagine anything acting so as to 'cut' or 'slice' it...unless there was some type of defect in the material.

Liquid can be used to cut things but only when applied over a tiny surface area like [from a pressure washer] or pressure cutting tool.
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
