AI Thread Summary
Innovative topics for a classical mechanics term project include exploring the hexagonal halo phenomenon at Saturn's poles or designing a rotating wheel for artificial gravity in space stations. The discussion highlights the historical interest in such projects, referencing papers from the 1970s. Challenges in these models, particularly related to Coriolis forces, are noted as significant issues. Problem-solving approaches can range from traditional questions to more complex phenomena. Engaging with these topics can lead to exciting discoveries in classical mechanics.

Does anybody know a good topic for a classical mechanics term project. I just don't have any ideas. It can just be a high degree of problem solving for a traditional trivial question or be a Phenomenon.

the hexagon/hexagonal 'halo' at the pole of Saturn?
 
I wrote a CM term paper on building artificial gravity space station (rotating wheel) - it was pretty cool. people wrote a bunch of papers in the '70s. There are some real problems with the model - mostly due to coriolis forces giving everyone strokes!
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

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...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
