The discussion centers on the implications of the Lagrange–d'Alembert principle in the context of dark energy and a system of rigid bodies. It questions whether the principle holds true when no external forces act on the system, particularly when the vector summation of all forces relative to a fixed reference frame does not equal zero. The fixed reference frame in question is attached to the center of the Galaxy. This inquiry explores the nuances of equilibrium in the absence of external forces. The implications of these conditions on our understanding of dark energy are significant.

TL;DR
Second and Third Newton Law
Hi, I am brainstorming about Dark Energy.

Lagrange–d'Alembert principle is stating that sum of external forces on the system of rigid bodies and sum of system forces must be in quasi static equilibrium.

What if there are no external forces acting on system of bodies and vector summation, relative to fixed reference frame of all m*a in the system of bodies is not equal to zero; would d'Alembert principle still hold?

I have to add; Fixed reference frame is attached to the center of the Galaxy.
 
Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'
As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
