Hey everyone we're trying to keep everything as orderly as possible, which is probably a fool's errand. To stop things from getting too out of hand we ask
- Keep content you add to the appropriate section
- Arial font size 14
- On bullets. Post description of content - link to content.
- keep it clean...
Example Problems
- This link has solutions included and pertains to pressure.
- This link has solutions concerning pressure and buoyancy.
- Student created question for extra credit: Fluid Mechanics Pressure Problem: A pressure problem involving a pipette: Imagine you have a pipette 18cm in length with a 1cm diameter filled with water. If you hold this pipette vertically how much water would be required to stop the water from dripping out of the pipette? (Hint: surface tension of water at sin90 with a temperature of 25 degrees celcius is equal to 72 mN/n)
