Science Quiz- What Is The Equation Shown Expressing?

[KittyWampus]

I don't understand :blush:

1. Looks like calculus perhaps?

Not sure what the symbols stand for, but maybe it's safe to say --
it's not rocket science. :D

2. The Navier Stokes equations of fluid mechanics (n/t)

[phaseolus]

3. Fluid Mechanics

Not sure which exact equation that is, since engineering school was 25 years ago, but it's about fluid flow...

4. Good Question. Here you go...

He was speaking with engineers involved in offshore renewable energy schemes.

5. If you wanted to have fun with it.

The upside down triangle or the V, one of them must equal 0

Now the meaning of the terms is the feminine and the masculine. You will notice that in the movie Sparta the symbol for the man is right side up triangle, but in that image it is upside down.

So upside down man, or V one of them must be 0 or both.

Peter was crucified upside down.

Upside down triangle also means divergence, which has a good comment in 12 monkeys.

Once you know one or the other must be 0, the bottom equation becomes easier.

some parts of equation cancel each other out.

v/i + 0 = 1/p (upside down triangle) * p - g * (upside down triangle) * h + 0

Cancel out some stuff

v/i = (upside down triangle) - g * (upside down triangle) * h

so either

0 = (upside down triangle) - g * (upside down triangle) * h
For this equation to be true, (upside down triangle) must equal 0. Or G and H would both have to be 1.

or

V = 0

and if V = 0 because (upside down triangle) = 0

Then both (upside down triangle) and V = 0 and g and h can be any number.


So final guess would be either

V = 0 and (upside down triangle) = 0 and g is any number and h is any number.

Or V = 0 And ( (upside down triangle) = 0 or (upside down triangle) is any number and g and h are 1.)

Note that in both equations, i can not be 0...

Unless you have learned to divide by 0.



Edit: since someone mentioned the Matrix in another thread, a good quote in that movie, "The One is like being in love." That might help with the equation.

6. You're right, that was fun.

I have no idea what any of that means. Seriesly.

edited to add seriesly, 'cause I seriesly have no idea

7. Math is so cool!! nt

8. Something about conservation of volume of a fluid

There was just this cool episode of Time Warp on the other day where they showed a billiard ball dropped into a tank of water, compared with the same ball coated with some hydrophobic film of some sort, and the difference was amazing.

I bet it's something like that.

9. I turned it upside down and looked at it in a mirror.....

.......P..A..U..L...I..S...D..E..A..D......

10. lol!

11. Only us old farts....

...probably got that.
