    Body Break
AI Thread Summary
A massive atomic nucleus is easier to break down due to the weak binding forces among nucleons, which are influenced by multipole interactions rather than direct nucleon-nucleon interactions. The strong nuclear force, while attractive, does not exhibit both repulsion and attraction like electric forces, complicating the formation of multipoles in larger nuclei. The Van der Waals forces, which contribute to binding nucleons, become weaker in larger nuclei, leading to increased instability. The discussion clarifies that the initial assumption about larger bodies being easier to break was incorrect when specifically considering atomic nuclei. Understanding these forces is crucial for grasping nuclear stability and interactions.

Why a massive body is easier to break than a tiny body despite the force bonding two particle is the same?

It's not.
 
Why a massive atomic nucleus is easy to break down?Is one nucleon acted by "multipoles" force but not interaction direct between two nucleons and "multipoles" force is weak with large nucleus?But strong interaction always is attractive force not have both repulsion and attractive force as electric force,then how can we make up a multipoles?

Now I rethink that with a large nucleus the "Van der Waals" "color" is nearly "white"(QCD) so the van der Waals force binding nucleons with each other is weak.Is that correct?

I have no idea what you are talking about.

If you are talking specifically about nuclei and not generic "massive bodies", you should say so.

At the beginning I thought that in general the big thing is easier to break,but by your answer I know that I was wrong.But after that I did not understand about the big nucleus!
 
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...
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...
