AI Thread Summary
The vibrations and waves course is not meeting expectations, prompting a shift towards self-learning. A request for comprehensive book recommendations on the subject has been made. A suggested resource is "Almost All About Waves" by John R. Pierce, noted for its value in foundational understanding. The focus is on acquiring in-depth knowledge rather than just the basics. This approach aims to enhance personal education in the field of vibrations and waves.

Thanks in advance

VktGS, I will recommend a small and inexpensive book that I consider to be invaluable for starting out on your journey:

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
