Understanding particle physics homework presents challenges such as interpreting terms like "maximum" and correctly labeling forces, including the nuclear force. Students often struggle with visual representations, as seen in the request for clearer diagrams and guidance on drawing forces accurately. There is confusion regarding how changes in proton numbers affect particle deflection. Additionally, the forum emphasizes the importance of focusing on one question per thread for clarity. Clear communication and structured questions are essential for effective learning in particle physics.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



for label the force, should I show the arrow pointing downwards? is the force nuclear force?

if replaced by greater proton number, then surely, more deflection

for the next diagram i want to draw lines with twice as much curl, because that's what I feel it is. but to explain it, I need some clues

Sorry.
 
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?
