1.As far as fluids go, what conditions can cause fluid flow (Q) to change. Fluid flow usually remains constant since if A increases, V decreases and vice versa but when do I consider that it is NOT CONSTANT.
2.Can someone basically explain the concepts behind hot air balloon problems. I always get so flustered when seeing these passages. I understand that Bernoullis is the main concept but how should I always approach these problems. Are there any tips anyone can give or recommend good websites.
3.In section 7 (Fluids and solids) of Berkeley review, it deals with buoyant force of submerged balls. It provides two questions. In the first one, when three balls of same density but different volumes are submerged, it asks which has same acceleration when all balls are let go. Since densities are same, they each experience the same acceleration upwards. This means that buoyant force is independent of volume here. However, in the next problem, it states that when a ball is compressed, it looses volume which decreases buoyant force due to less volume being displaced. So which is it? Is buoyant force independent or dependent on volume?
