I was being facetious. The 2θ answer implies α would be near 180, but that would mean the water would be almost upside down while falling more slowly than g, clearly not possible.BvU said:@haru: you mean almost 90 ?
Fluid mechanics is a branch of physics that studies the behavior of fluids (liquids and gases) when they are in motion.
An incline, also known as a slope, is a surface that is at an angle to the horizontal plane.
The fluid in a container moving down an incline will experience a force due to gravity pulling it down the slope. This force will cause the fluid to flow down the incline, and the fluid's behavior will depend on its viscosity, density, and the angle of the incline.
The speed of the fluid moving down an incline is affected by the angle of the incline, the viscosity of the fluid, and the gravitational force acting on the fluid.
The flow rate of the fluid down the incline will increase as the angle of the incline increases. This is because a steeper incline will result in a greater force of gravity acting on the fluid, causing it to flow faster. Additionally, the flow rate will also depend on the viscosity and density of the fluid.
