I need help making a relation between piezoelectricity and earthquake

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on formulating an equation that relates piezoelectricity to seismic waves generated during earthquakes. The user is tasked with calculating stress and strain on a piezoelectric system using earthquake energy, magnitude, and distance attenuation. The suggestion is made to utilize scientific articles for a more robust approach, specifically recommending Google Scholar for research. The conversation emphasizes the importance of grounding the logical approach in established scientific literature.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of piezoelectricity principles
  • Knowledge of seismic wave mechanics
  • Familiarity with stress and strain calculations
  • Experience with academic research tools like Google Scholar
NEXT STEPS

Is this for schoolwork? What resources have you been reading to try to come up with this?
 
Yes it is, so far I have only done it in a purely logical manner

Okay, I'll move your thread to the schoolwork forums then.

That's probably not the best way to approach this. Try searching for scientific articles on the subject to see how others have approached the problem. You could do the search with Google Scholar to narrow the results to scientific articles.
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
