The discussion revolves around interpreting the triple integral expression $$\int \frac{d^{3} x}{y^{3}}$$ and whether it represents the integral of "y" with respect to "x." Participants emphasize the need for additional context, such as bounds and whether "y" is a function of position in three dimensions, to fully understand the expression. The notation ##d^3x## is clarified as shorthand for multiple variables, indicating that there isn't a single variable "x" involved. Without more information, the expression remains ambiguous and cannot be accurately evaluated. Context is essential for meaningful interpretation of the integral.

Hi, just wondering does this mean the triple integral of "y" with respect to "x"?
$$
\int \frac{d^{3} x}{y^{3}} .
$$

Without the benefit of the context, I would say a cautious "yes". Cautious because ##d^3x## is shorthand for ##dx_1~dx_2~dx_3## so there is no single variable of integration "x".

any context? bounds ? Complete problem statement ?
 
Is y a function of position in three dimensions?

I found it in a textbook, it's very general "equation".

What you posted is an expression, not an equation. What is the rest of it?
There must be some context or it would be meaningless.
 
If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
