Homework Help Overview
The discussion revolves around the relationship between pressure (P) and volume (V) in solids, specifically questioning why the equation PV equals zero for solids despite their ability to exert pressure. Participants are exploring concepts related to the physical properties of solids.
Discussion Character
- Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking
Approaches and Questions Raised
- Participants are questioning the definition of pressure in the context of solids and whether solids can be said to 'have' pressure. There is also a consideration of the implications of solids having volume while discussing the equation PV = 0.
Discussion Status
The discussion is ongoing, with participants raising questions about the definitions and assumptions related to pressure in solids. There is no explicit consensus yet, but the dialogue is exploring different interpretations of pressure and volume.
Contextual Notes
Some participants highlight the need for clarity regarding the definition of pressure as it applies to solids, suggesting that this may be a key factor in understanding the equation in question.
