SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around the confusion regarding the terminology used in a question about water jet pressure from Vimana Physics, a German-based learning set for pilot candidates preparing for the DLR test. Participants express frustration over the unclear phrasing, particularly the terms "high under pressure" and "normal pressure," which lack context and clarity. The conversation highlights the challenges faced by non-native speakers in understanding technical language, especially when translated poorly. The need for precise language in educational materials is emphasized to avoid misinterpretation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic fluid dynamics concepts
  • Familiarity with pressure terminology in physics
  • Knowledge of the DLR test requirements for pilot candidates
  • Experience with technical translation and its challenges
NEXT STEPS
  • Research fluid dynamics principles related to water jets
  • Study pressure measurement techniques in physics
  • Explore the DLR test format and preparation strategies
  • Learn about effective technical translation practices
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, pilot candidates preparing for the DLR test, educators involved in technical translation, and anyone interested in the clarity of scientific communication.

Physics news on Phys.org
The question "Which water jet can be expected at high under pressure?" does not appear to have been written by a native English speaker. It does not make sense. Are we to assume that the water is under high pressure? Or that the ambient air is under high pressure? Is "under pressure" supposed to mean "underpressure" which would likely be a lower-than-ambient pressure.

The question about normal pressure is even less sensible. How are we expected to know what is normal without context?

Thanks man for the explanation.
These are from Vimana physics a german based learning set which is a preparation for DLR (by lutfansa )TEST for pilot candidates.they must have used google translator or sth.even you can t understand as a native speaker let alone ı m a foreigner. I might as well die
Thnks for the reply anyways
