Why Does the Bucket on Keel 3 Tip to the Left?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the tipping of a bucket on Keel 3, specifically why it tips to the left despite both buckets supposedly containing equal volumes of water. Participants suggest possible explanations, including the density of water at 4 degrees Celsius and evaporation effects, but none provide a definitive answer. There is a call for reasoning to clarify why the left side experiences more force, leading to the tipping. The conversation emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of the physics involved, particularly in relation to the properties of the materials and their effects on balance. Ultimately, the reasons behind the tipping remain unclear, prompting further inquiry into the mechanics at play.

3. I see it tips to the left.Some say it is about density of water at 4 C degree some say it is about the evapouration of water . However I am not sure what the real reason is.
Can you please help me with that

Physics news on Phys.org
The diagram shows "1 l" (one liter) on the buckets. One assumes based on this and on the assertion that both buckets contain the same "amount of water" that there is an equal volume on both sides.

Bro thanks for the answer but the answer is to the left as u can see in the picture so there is more force to the left but why? Sbd help me please!

equal volume

I read it already he says there is equal volume of water in both. Can you explain why the keel tips to the left, genius friend?
You offered two explanations in post #1. Which of them, if either, is consistent with the buckets containing equal volumes of water (at the time that it tips)? Does it explain the tipping?

Dude, I am not saying the two options in explanation are correct.They are just guesses. Plz can u tell me why it tips to the left?
 
We are not here to confirm or refute guesses. You have to put in some effort.
 
Ever wondered why they cool rocket fuel before putting it in the rocket?

I understand that, but the onus is on you to provide some reasoning as to whether either could be.

I only said you should supply some reasoning, not that it had to be right.
Let me try a different tack: two cubes of metal, same size but different metals, are placed equidistant from the fulcrum. One side tips down. What can you say about that cube compared with the other?
