Hello there. Can someone help me understand the following practical physics transpositions. I would like every last detail to be mentioned as I'm not really very sure on this at all.

A submarine has a maximum allowable pressure of 588.6kPa. It is in water at its usual density of 1000kg/m^3 what is the maximum depth this sub can achieve

Well to find out the pressure i need to do Height times Gravitational Pull times Rho.

How do i transpose this so that the height is the subject.


can you answer this with a detailed explanation and give me a few other transpositions with multiplications and divisions with explanations as io need to understand this as I am training to become an aircraft engineer.

what do you mean by transposition? to transpose something means to take it from one place and put it into another.

Hello silk101! Welcome to PF! :smile:

If h*g*rho = pressure, then you "transpose" by dividing both sides by g*rho, giving:

h = pressure/g*rho :smile:​
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Imaginary pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
