SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of the equation F2 = (A2/A1) F1 in fluid mechanics, specifically addressing why system 3 requires the same force as system 1. Participants emphasize the need for a conceptual understanding rather than mathematical calculations. The conversation highlights the importance of grasping the principles behind fluid dynamics, particularly in relation to force and area ratios. A participant also mentions the necessity of correctly summing velocities to arrive at accurate conclusions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with the equation of force in relation to area ratios
  • Basic knowledge of velocity addition in fluid systems
  • Ability to interpret physics presentations and slides
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation and applications of the equation F2 = (A2/A1) F1 in fluid dynamics
  • Explore concepts of pressure and force in various fluid systems
  • Learn about the implications of velocity addition in fluid mechanics
  • Review physics presentations on fluid dynamics for better conceptual clarity
USEFUL FOR

Students studying fluid mechanics, educators teaching physics concepts, and anyone seeking to understand the relationship between force, area, and velocity in fluid systems.

Hi,

I believe this is a question that requires a simple explanation without having to do any mathematics.

If people are disregarding this post, simply because it seems as if I am just thrusting the question out there, I am not.
The question is simple. It's a conceptual question.

So please take your time to answer.
 
which one? I got a slide show with several queations?

the 3rd question please

thanx
 
1 just have to add up the velocities, first time i went thru it I was wrong.
