AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses a student's concern about a challenging problem set from a graduate-level physics course at Florida Atlantic University. The student is currently enrolled in an undergraduate course on mathematical methods and feels unprepared for the material. Responses reassure the student that the graduate course content is not relevant to their current studies and that the textbook being used is suitable for their level. It emphasizes the importance of intellectual growth and encourages the student to take their time in mastering the material. Overall, the student should not be worried about the complexity of the graduate problems.

Hey all, I'm new here. I was just looking at a problem set from Florida Atlantic University from 2010 (http://www.physics.fau.edu/~cbeetle/Fall10/PHZ5115/Assignments/pset3.pdf) and it looks absolutely ridiculous. I'm taking a course now as a sophomore called "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" and we're using Boaz as our textbook. We haven't gone over any of this crazy looking stuff, should I be worried? Thanks.

Hi Ethan Mullen and welcome to PF.
:welcome:

No you should not be worried. Physics 5115 at FAU was a graduate course in mathematical physics. You are not at that level yet. The text by Boaz is perfectly appropriate for where you are right now. Give yourself some time to grow intellectually and mathematically.

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...
