About
This is a video podcast of solutions to example problems from Dr. Beyersdorf's Physics 50 class at San Jose State University. Several episodes will be published each week including solutions to the previous week's homework and examples that may be useful in understanding current homework or preparing for upcoming exams.
14-47 Mass of a Planet-fluid mechanics
Given some measurements of the pressure in a fluid taken on the surface of an unknown planet, use Pascal's law and the universal law of gravitation to...
14-37 Airplane Wing-fluid mechanics
Use Bernoulli's Equation to find the force on an airplane wing and then find the net force acting on the airplane.
14-29 Shower Head-fluid mechanics
Use the continuity equation to find the exit velocity for water in a shower head
