Check Your Understanding Explain why the concepts of Young’s modulus and shear modulus do not apply to fluids.
The temperature of the atmosphere oscillates from a maximum near noontime and a minimum near sunrise. Would you consider the atmosphere to be in stable or unstable equilibrium?
In about 1657, Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, evacuated a sphere made of two brass hemispheres (Fig. P15.62). Two teams of eight horses each could pull the hemispheres apart only on some trials and then with greatest difficulty, with the resulting sound likened to a cannon firing. Find the force F required to pull the thin-walled evacuated hemispheres apart in terms of R, the radius of the hemispheres; P, the pressure inside the hemispheres; and atmospheric pressure P0.
