Can Ferrofluids Withstand 50 Psi Pressure?

AI Thread Summary
Ferrofluids typically consist of water or organic solvents, which generally do not withstand pressures as high as 50 Psi. The strength of ferrofluids is influenced by the magnetic field, but their pressure resistance is limited. Most available ferrofluids are rated for pressures around 4-6 Psi, making 50 Psi significantly higher than standard specifications. The discussion highlights a lack of existing ferrofluids capable of withstanding such pressure levels. Further research into specialized formulations may be necessary to find a suitable ferrofluid for this application.

Hi to everyone,
i wanted to ask if a ferrofluid exist that can withstand a pressure of 50 Psi? Does the "strenght" of the liquid depend on the strenght of the magnetiv field?
Are there any such ferrofluids, or is this too much for the fluids available on the market?

Thanks

Ferrofluids are typically based on water or some organic solvent. Why would either of these liquids not withstand 50 Psi of pressure? What are you asking about "strenght" of the liquid"? It is not possible to give an answer to a question that doesn't make any sense. Please re-try.

The word is spelled strength. Have you done a Google search for ferrofluids yet? Have you read the description of ferrofluids in Wikipedia?
 
Yes, i have. Everywhere the quotes PSi is in the range of 4-6 PSI. I have never read anywhere of higher psi. That is the reason i am asking.
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
