Chemical reaction metal underwater

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the chemical reactions between a Teflon-coated high carbon steel hook and a lead sinker when submerged underwater, particularly in a fishing context. Key concerns include potential rusting, electrical charge interactions, and magnetic fields that could influence fish behavior. The presence of pinholes in the Teflon coating raises questions about corrosion and signal emissions. Factors such as temperature and salinity are also relevant to understanding these reactions. Overall, the inquiry seeks to explore how these materials might affect fish detection and response to fishing rigs.

Hi guys I was wondering of someone on here could briefly enlighten me on the chemical reactions that would occur with a Teflon Coated high carbon steel hook and a lead sinker while underwater? I am looking into the signals that may or may not be given off by these items both separately and with each other with in a fishing situation that an old wise and somewhat cute carp may pick up on when aproaching a fishing rig and said hook. I am looking into all aspects of this regarding rusting, electrical charge, magnetic fields etc. Any help is massively appreciated. Thanks in advance

Teflon coated high-C steel --- with pinholes, of course --- lead sinker, plus brass wire --- you're not making this easy. Temperature? Salinity?
 

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...
