AI Thread Summary
The introduction of a third charge near a neutral conducting sphere with two spherical cavities containing point charges qA and qB will affect the overall electric field and charge distribution. The outcome is contingent on the relative signs of the charges and the constraints imposed on their movement. If the charges are fixed, the influence of the third charge will be different compared to a scenario where they can move freely. The interaction will primarily involve electromagnetic forces, which dictate the behavior of the charges. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for predicting the resulting electric field and potential changes in the sphere's charge distribution.

I am thinking over this,
there are two spherical cavities in the interior of a neutral conducting sphere.the cavities have point charges qA and qB respectively at their centres.
What will happen when we bring a third charge near the sphere...

It all depends, particularly on the relative sign of the charges, and whether they are held in place by non-electromagnetic forces. It's all about forces and constraints.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
