Hi, all and thanks for your time.

I did read that the conservation of Buoyancy is an "alternative" conservation of energy under some hypothesis.

Can someone explain how do I start from the conservation of energy and find the conservation of buoyancy? Are there some corresponding mathematical passages?

Sorry for my bad English and thanks again!

Thank you SO much! Do you have other documents about this problem? I'm working on plumes and trying to understand the dependence of the entrainment coefficient from the background rotation (but I'm a poor student). I did another post about entrainment.

I'm also trying to understand how to define mathematically the entrainment coefficient.

Thanks a lot!
 
Also, can I ask you some questions about that presentation you linked to me? thanks a lot!
 
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...
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
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?
