Does the Angle of a V-Tube Influence Fluid Oscillations?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining how the angle of a V-shaped tube affects fluid oscillations in a "fractionless" fluid. The original poster is familiar with oscillations in U-shaped tubes but struggles to incorporate the angle into the equations for the V-tube. They initially believe the angle may not influence oscillations but express doubt about this conclusion. After some back-and-forth, the poster ultimately resolves their question independently, indicating a lack of external assistance. The conversation highlights the complexity of fluid dynamics in varying tube shapes.

Homework Statement


Basically, the goal of the "project" is to find the equation for oscillation of a "fractionless" fluid in a v-shaped tube, regarding the angle. I know how to solve the same problem regarding a u-shaped tube, but in this case, I can't figure out where to place the angle in the equation... Does the angle even affect the osciallations at all? From where I am now, it seems like it doesn't, but I doubt that's true. Any help is appreciated, thank you :)

The Attempt at a Solution


So, I'm currently at w(angular frequency)=sqrt[2*g/(hl+hd/cos(angle)]... is that right?

does anyone have a clue?
 
anybody?
 
Nvm guys, figured it out... thanks for nothing. :)
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
