    Thread Tutorial
Click For Summary
There is a suggestion to create a dedicated tutorial thread for various topics, separate from existing sections, to enhance learning opportunities. Participants express interest in starting with simple concepts like projectiles and expanding to more complex subjects such as differential and integral calculus. Current resources are seen as lacking engagement, with many links leading to inactive or outdated content. Users are encouraged to contribute by writing and posting their own tutorials in the appropriate forums. The overall goal is to foster a more active and informative community for learning physics and mathematics.

Cant someone start a tutorial thread?

Cant someone start like a tutorial thread? :confused:
Looking at the potential here :bugeye: , if we could start a tutorial on a topic, maybe under a separate subdivision, and post there (not problems but different concepts that each one could bring out)
Maybe we could start with something simple :rolleyes: (like projectiles or something) and take things from there...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
We have https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=160 for intro physics tutorials. I've not looked through it properly, but there's probably something on projectiles etc. However, if you feel like writing one, then start a new topic in that forum!

Like, do you mean, like another one BESIDES the Science and Math Tutorials section of this site?
 
i saw the list...but, they are really inactive...a tutorial on maybe differential calculus and integral calculus, covering all the types would be really useful...
 
and most are links to pdf files that can be downloaded :frown:!

Well, these typically wouldn't be in the intro physics tutorials section! Here is the link to the math and science tutorial section. I remember Hootenanny wrote a tutorial on differentiation a while ago.

But, like I said, if you've got the time and want to write one then feel free!

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
