Krotov problem: how to write Energy conservation for this fluid?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Krotov problem and the challenges of writing energy conservation equations for fluid dynamics. A participant acknowledges errors in their calculations related to the radius of the fluid, specifically using the formula r = √(S/π) incorrectly. The relevance of this radius is questioned, as it is not provided in the problem data, leading to confusion about its necessity. Another participant points out that S represents the cross-sectional area, defined as S = πr², but questions the need for assuming a circular cross-section. The conversation highlights the importance of clear assumptions and accurate calculations in fluid dynamics problems.

Homework Statement
I uploaded the problem. when I want to write the potential energy of the fluid in the initial and final state I don't find the right answer. I know the rest of the problem.
Relevant Equations
$$ U=\rho g h A h_{cm} $$
I wrote some potentials but they were wrong. I used the cm of all fluid parts and I used the radius which is $$ \sqrt S/ \pi $$ .

That equation for radius has a "type" error.
$$r =\sqrt \frac{S}{\pi} $$
 
Per forum rules, please post your working. Otherwise we have no way to know where you are going wrong.
 
Could you explain how is that radius, which is not shown as data in the problem, relevant?

S is the cross sectional area, so ##S=\pi r^2##. But if you are asking why bother calculating the radius (you don't even have to assume it is a circular cross section) then I agree.

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
