Mathematical Analysis of an Ideal ZED

[MarkE]

Interesting,

You are saying that it is not the Outside Diameter?

That it is not the volume of displaced water,, that the vessel itself has no displacement value?

In that case MarkE,, you must remove the riserwall lift force,, which is it then,,

I will try to remember that it is only the volume inside the float that counts,, so that makes a Styrofoam float sink because there is no space inside,,, interesting MarkE.

Oh, lets not forget the big hoohaa you had about the water rising in a container when the float was pushed down,, whether that float was full of water or not.

Look at the diagrams Tom.  See if you can figure out the correct answers.  You can play the village idiot as long as you like.

[MarkE]

Just a sec,, let me get a screen shot with using .1mm for the vergap and the air volume error,, any person with a copy of your spreadsheet, including YOU can check this.

There ya go MarkE,, FAIL

That's your spreadsheet Tom.  Try again.

[MarkE]

Tom, if you answer the five questions posed then perhaps you will see the light.  Judging from your obstinate willful ignorance displayed so far, I have my doubts.

Then again, I suppose you are calling TK's videos a fraud,, since those demonstrated that it is the volume of water displaced not what is displacing that water.

It's not the first time that someone has misinterpreted or overinterpreted what I show in a video. Maybe I need to use a different transcoder or something.

Aren't you going to answer the quiz? I'm dying to see if I got the same answers you did.

The volume of the immersed part, not the actual volume of water, that's what
Archimedes himself reckons,
