AI Thread Summary

Mexico sought independence from Spain due to a combination of social, economic, and political factors, including dissatisfaction with colonial rule and the desire for self-determination. The influence of Enlightenment ideas and the example of other independence movements also played a significant role. Economic exploitation and social inequalities fueled resentment among various classes, leading to calls for reform and autonomy. The struggle for independence culminated in a series of conflicts known as the Mexican War of Independence, which began in 1810. Ultimately, Mexico's desire for freedom was driven by a quest for national identity and governance.

Because

\Gamma^l_{ki} = \frac{1}{2} g^{lj} (\partial_k g_{ij} + \partial_i g_{jk} - \partial_j g_{ki})

How could you miss that ??

No this is probably not the best place to ask. Try General Discussion, or even Politics and World Affairs.

Sorry, I'll post this there then.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
