The above diagram is supposed to represent a bucket half filled with water on
the surface of which a ball is flaoting.

If the bucket is rotated rapidly around point P, does the ball sink lower,
flaot higher or stay at same level?

One doesn't want to jump on the flame wagon, but the irony you flag
for the individual who want to demolish relativity, and then comes
back to ask about a simple question in buoyancy, is indescribably
delicious.

I personally would want to at least master buoyancy before moving on
to demolish Einstein, but then Mr. Wilson's genius could not wait.

Oops... I've jumped on the wagon after all.

Don't hesitate. Jump, it's fun. And for the flamed it seems to
be even more than fun... It is food and drink - they love it.
What? Yes, they need it.

Object weight vs. weight of displaced water volume, crackpot. Now
factor in Coriolus effect. Where in the bucket does the ball reside
at equilibrium?

Don't you want to commit yourself to solving a real physics problem?
Can't you fathom it out? Do you want to avoid the revelation that you know
absolutely nothing about physics?

Obviously you cannot even recognize that this is quite a complicated problem.

The water in a standing bucket will turn over as the earth turns and
the water dont.
From the north it looks to turn one way and from the south the other
way BUT you see the same role from opposit ends .
That ball will hit the back side of the buket then sink.

Funny. All the best known physics crackpots have had their say. Except Varney,
of course, who probably cannot even understand the question.

Anyway, present score: 5 nil against any sensible answer.

None of the above.
As the ball rotates from below point P, to above point P, its level
changes.

What is a cetripital problem, and how does it copulate with a mentally

what "cetripital" is supposed to mean, do tell. (Centripetal?)

I disagree. Most often sea sickness is motion sickness and has more to do

Then why do cigarettes make T.J.'s crew puke ?

Why does mentioning the word " Tuna " cause puking ?

I'm not saying that T.J.'s crew could stop puking
if they just controlled their minds better ,
sometimes sedatives ( Shudder ) are the only answer .

The mind is bizarre like that , often uncontrollable .
It's the mind that causes the puking .

If motion sickness were caused by motion ,
then explain this to me :
Why do drivers Not get sick while passengers so ?

Motion sickness is purely mental ,
but that does not mean that
anyone can prevent it by thinking differently .

Sometimes sedatives are the Only answer .

These are not the same things. Motion sickness results when there is a
conflict in information which the brain is recieving from visual sensors and
from the inner ear.

See - http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/907367055.html

This happens to astronauts too. I don't see why you think there is a
relationship between motion sickness and panicing. this has been studied
extensively with astronauts.

Then why do you think Dramamene works? It's not a seditive.

Motion sickness doesn't happen in just boats either. It happens whenever
there is a conflict in sight and motion like in an airplane or in an
elevator etc.

Hello Pete [ Pmb ] ,
Re: How Dramamine abates motion sickness ,
You ask ,
" Then why do you think Dramamine works ?

Dramamine is a sedative .

From :
http://www.asma.org/Publication/abstract/v68n10/68-890.htm
" Dramamine's effectiveness may be related to
its sedative properties "

And let's not quibble over the word " Sedative " ,
any pill that has a " Calming effect " ,
will help prevent motion sickness .
That's a mental state ... It's not a corporal one .

Re: How drivers don't get motion sickness ,
You say ,


" Motion sickness doesn't happen in just boats either .

No , That happens only in people who
really Really hate those conditions .
It's not that different from claustrophobics .
It's all in the mind ... Not corporal .

Again , I'm not saying that everyone can control
what they think , all the time ...
Regrettably , " Calming drugs " are often necessary .

I understand that is what you believe. What scientific evidence do you have
that its true? What scientific basis is there for your claim? Are you
claiming that all of Nasa's work on motion sickness is bogus and that you've
proved that it's all panic attacks? How have you proved this?

Thanks. I've never taken it as dramamine. However I've taken it many times
now that I see what it is.

It's a drug that makes you sleepy. All it really is is an antihystamine -
i.e. it's benedryl,

That's not true. On what are you basing this assumption? I've gotten motion
sickness plenty oif times. It happens when I read in the car. The motion as
detected by my inner ear does not jive with what I see. So that screws
things up. But that doesn't mean that I hate the condition of being in a
car. I love going for a ride.

Screws what things up ? Your mind ?

I imagine that , like me ,
you concentrate deeply when you read ,
Then the car swerves , you get startled ,
your heart races , etc. .

It's all Mental ,
It has to do with your persistent mental habits ,
how Deeply you concentrate ,
and how you react to being startled at that time .
The mind is also primal ,
You can't always control it without the aid of drugs .

Continuing with this same topic ,

No , I haven't looked at any scientific studies at all ,
But I don't have to , I know from experience that
motion sickness is :
_ A mental infliction .
_ It's partially due to my mental history .
( Possibly related to my tendency to concentrate deeply )
_ It's partially due due to my primal ,
immutable , mind . e.g. Being startled .

benedryl is not damaging.

Arriving at conclusions only from personal experience is the worst way to
form a scientific conclusion. It's often proved wrong. Nasa's research has

No , Motion sickness is merely similar to panic attacks .

It's a racing of the heart ,
it's a primal reaction to certain mental scenarios ,
including a fatigued mind due to over concentration .
It's mainly a feeling of a loss of control .

But like many other such mental disabilities ,
it often requires " Calming drugs " .

That means there are negative side effects to the brain in some cases. It
doesn't mean it damages the brain. However one has to be careful when
reading side effects. They describe *all* side effects which were
experienced by the entire group of individuals on which they tested the
drug. It may even be that the side effects were not caused by the drug.

Just look at Rush Limbaugh , he lost his hearing .

Benadryl is like that too ,
it's known to cause permanent
blurred vision , vertigo , tinnitus .

Like all drugs , Benadryl is a poison ,
the liver has to metabolize it .

There is a direct correlation between
metabolism and longevity .

Just imagine if you should cryogenically hibernate ,
you'd live a long time ... Right ?
( But that's not a very active life , is it ? )

On a per pound basis ,
squirrels consume oxygen seven times faster than horses ,
therefore horses live seven times longer .

The less food you give rats and worms over the months ,
the slower they age and the longer they live .

It's just a Hard Fact !

Why do you bother to ask why I am asking? Can't you answer it?

Maybe I ask simply to find out if anyone here actually knows anything about
physics. Present indications are that they don't.

What difference does the size of the ball make?
What if the ball is compressible (more or less so than water)?

Does the surface of the water become spherical rather than flat?
What is the effect of the vastly different pressure gradient in the water?

Of course the water's density won't change. The change in weight of
the ball would be negligible, unless you are dealing with a REALLY
large axis of rotation, which would make the problem needlessly
complicated. Centripetal force is component of circular motion along
the <r> axis. Centrifugal force is a ficticious force. Centrifical
means nothing.

Well, looking at your problem, you are assuming that the ball is
floating on the surface of the water. Thus, the ball must be less
dense than that of the water, and the buoyant force must equal the
force of gravity, when it is not spinning, and rests, we'll say.

When the bucket is spinning (assuming uniform speed), the problem gets
more complicated, naturally.

At the lowest point in the spin, the buoyant force is greater than the
force of gravity, because the net force must point toward the centre
of the circle; distance between the ball and P is decreased; the ball
moves up.

At the top of the spin, both the buoyant and gravitational force act
in the same direction; the ball, again, is closer to P (moreso than
above, I believe), so the ball moves down.

From this, I would venture a guess that the ball follows a simple
harmonic motion with a max at the top, and a min at the bottom, though
the total distance between the ball and P is always less than that if
the ball was stationary.

It's been awhile since I've done fluid dynamics, so I could be
completely off on this one. Depends how simple of solution you're
looking for, too, I guess.

An impending feeling of loss of control over the urge to puke.

In my limited experience I found that in the open air, able to see the
horizon, riding the bronco was exhilarating more than sickening: cold
spray in the face helped a great deal also. I felt like a Viking
rather than a puke.

OTOH, I once swam for a long time in the surf, swinging up and down
with the waves: it was also exhilarating and viking-like, but when I
climbed out on the beach I noticed the symptoms of sea-sickness! So
your mental state can control or suppress the symptoms, but there is
some real physiological effect to being shaken, not stirred, which
can't be erased.

swinging up and down with the waves :

What a great story . Land sickness ? ha !

When you switch from swimming in the sea
to standing on dry land ,
you felt a sudden loss of control , You were confused .

Ha ! That's it ! Motion sickness is confusion .

If you concentrate too much , e.g. reading in a car ,
and then odd things happen in that car ,
like sudden swerves , you get excited and confused .
Your heart races and you might even puke .

First you launch a death threat against /The Internet/.

Now, you go paranoid about *oxygen*.

What's next?

Are your precious bodily fluids being eviscerated by Socialists who put
flourine in the drinking water?

I'm not " paranoid about oxygen " ,
I'm just saying that :
People who live faster will die faster , that's all .

I make no judgment calls about
whether it's better to live faster or slower .

A person who exercises more will live a longer healthier life, all other

I prefer anaerobic exercise.

I go into a vacuum chamber and ride an exercise bicycle until I'm blue
in the face. Then they pull me out and resuscitate me.

It does wonders for my abs.

Wrong .

You're confusing today's health
with what happens in the long run .

Take a look at those super healthy football players ,
Can you tell me this ? :
What happens to their health in the long run ?

You ignored the qualifier " all other things being equal"

football players are in a high risk category. But this is a general rule
which applies overall. It fails in certain cases such as those whose health
would be compromised by exercise etc.

Re: Your statement ,

But there is an obvious trade off between
living an Active healthy life today and living longer .

It's a fact :
The faster you live the sooner you die .

Too much exercise , too much food , too much drugs ,
all are known to shorten one's lifespan considerably .

Once again, I tend to agree with you, unfortunately.

However, I would emphasize the /oxygen/ theory. It's the eating of
higher-energy food that kills us. Take a Gallapagos turtle or tree
sloth. Sluggish, but eating lots of little things. A good grazer will
outlast a carnivore any day.

Re:exercise, I read what I thought was an interesting comment by a
/health expert/. He was saying that exercise is not the same as health
-- because most exercises are repetitive movements that we naturally
like to do. Why do we /jog/ -- well, for exercise, sure, but also
because it's fun to run. But when we run, we use up knee cartilege and
other resources because of /repetition/.

Real exercise means bending and stretching in ways that we would not
normally do.

Hi POOP ,
Re: Pete's statement ,
" Aerobic exercise is awesome for better health "
You replied ,

" He said ' exercise ' !
Not ' slamming into other bastards at high speeds ' . "

The example of people who live in excess ,
too many drugs , too much food ,
and , yes , too much exercise ,
is simply that : An obvious case .

To see the finer points of the rate of living theory ,
you have to look at studies of rats , worms , etc. .

Interestingly ,
this same principle extends to Objects as well ,
e.g. The faster the cigarette burns ,
i.e. The deeper the drags ,
the shorter is it's lifespan .

Only half of them had the tits.

Al's half had minute penises (so the first half reckoned)

In our physics faculty there was only ONE solitary female - and she was flat

You have introduced another factor into this. However I think the same two
forces would act on the water too and so balance the effect you mention.

It would be best if we could eliminate the alternating effect of gravity from
this experiment. Maybe the rotation could take place in the horizontal plane.

If the ball is quite compressible, and the rotational speed sufficiently high,
I reckon the ball will sink.
