Rate of evaporation in salt water swimming pools

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the evaporation rate and volume loss of a saltwater swimming pool with specific parameters: a surface area of 190 square feet, a depth of 4 feet, an average air temperature of 75°F, and average wind speed of 5 mph, with 12 hours of daylight and 65% humidity. Participants emphasize the importance of water temperature, which is noted to be 80°F, as it influences evaporation rates. The conversation references external resources for further information on evaporation principles. Understanding these factors is essential for accurately estimating water loss over time. Accurate calculations can help pool owners manage water levels effectively.

I am interested in understanding and being able to calulate the rate of evaporation and the volume lose over time of the salt water.
Surface area is 190 sf
Depth 4'
average air temp 75 deg. F
Daylight hours 12
Average wind speed 5 mph
Humidity 65%

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
