the "upside" of the filling the bottom with mercury is moot. From what I can see from the cup, even if the mercury stays at the bottom, the actual amount of wine filled would still be the same as the amount without the mercury in the cup (before being siphoned from the bottom)

Giving the students smaller cups doesn't teach the students self control. They'd just learn to fill the cup to the top no matter the cup size. This teaches them their actions has consequences, but more directly. Then again, we live in an era that instead of teaching kids not to stab each other with scissors they just give students plastic scissors to stab each other with.

Not only would they poison themselves, but it defeats the purpose of filling the cup. The amount of mercury is about the same amount of extra wine they would get

@limepop340

4 жыл бұрын

Said Chammas Not necessarily. If my understanding of physics is correct, you should be able to cheat in an amount of water/wine that is of equal mass to the amount of mercury that would “fill” the glass. To maximize wine, you only need enough mercury to fill to the top (without going over), plus enough mercury at the bottom to prevent water from entering the siphon. If the glass were engineered with a very thin siphon, you could use next to no mercury and fill the cup to over 13 times the allowed volume (given the geometry of the glass allowed that much wine; this is theoretical to show a point). Given you’re only trying to fill an extra fraction of the allowed volume, you essentially only need enough mercury to cover the aperture to the siphon. If you imagine a cylinder and use the first cup as a reference, the height above the top of the siphon is significantly greater than the diameter of the siphon. Given the siphon has a roughly circular cross-section and is doubled up on itself, it’s very hard to think the opening is taller than the amount of wine to gain. Even with the most conservative of rough estimates, that particular glass would fill to compensate for the mercury’s volume, then allow for an extra volume of wine equal to that of the mercury. Given an optimal functioning vessel utilizing the same principle, the theoretical limit to this ratio is ludicrous. Very little mercury (a negligible amount considering the total volume) to tredecuple your allowed wine and then some.

@@limepop340 What he's saying in a complicated way: Mercury is about 13 times denser than water. So to push mercury one inch up a tube, you need 13 inches of water. If you want the mercury not to be pushed over the u tube, you thus need enough mercury such that the difference of water vs mercury pished is a bit more than the distance between the u turn and the top of the glass. So you need about 1/13th of that distance in mercury. The diamateter of the tube is irrelevant as long as it's smaller than that distance.

Because you can't fill a cup to the top and safely drink it... it will spill. Since there is always room someone will always try to get a little bit more regardless of how small it is. It is the same idea with money. People will try to skirt around laws to get more even when having more has no benefit to them... any law we create they would find a new loop hole or if the law was too strict it hurts everyone hence they fight it in court to remove it. A great and simple example is that we can't limit how much a person makes in a year to stop people from getting billions while their employees get nothing... because then the lottery and gambling can't happen. The people who use those things will be upset and fight said law, along with the people who run those things, and of course the people who get billions would fight it as well. The exception to this would be create something which solely punishes people from the inside... of course this then leads to people using multiple cups and so forth. The only way to get around this is to ruin someone's reputation (Their cup spilling) and hence making everyone distrust them or dislike them and blaming them for the reason we can't sneak more... and people will be less likely to try to get around it as they risk basically losing everything. Of course a new cup has to be endlessly designed... to compensate for the new cheaters. An unfortunately endless battle.

MrSubjugation You could also make that impossible by making the liquid distribute evenly on all sides through small pepperbox-like holes as it's leaving at the bottom, so at least you get much less of it but even that can be defeated if you just put the cup in a bucket.

You're right. I think it would take more honey than the mercury they used, though. Since mercury is much denser, a thin layer at the bottom is enough. With honey, you might need to fill half the cup or more.

Not only would they have poisoned themselves but also the volume they would have gained if they had filled the cup to its brim was taken up by the mercury.

@superdau

9 жыл бұрын

nura loh No. Since mercury is over 13 times denser than wine (water) you need 13x more water above the mercury to "push" it up the same height. That can be seen in the video by the way. While the cup is full with water the mercury in the inner tube is pushed up just a few millimeters.

@orgminyak

9 жыл бұрын

superdau what I was trying to say is that the Mercury takes up volume which can no longer be taken up by the wine to maximise the amount of wine in the cup. There will at least be 1/13 of volume wasted to Mercury.

@Niosus

9 жыл бұрын

nura loh That depends on how big the hole at the bottom is and how high the u-tube goes. You can make a cup that spills at any arbitrary height.

@orgminyak

9 жыл бұрын

Assuming volume increases proportionately with the height of the cup, and the height of the u-tube is equal to the height of the cup, at least 1/13 will be wasted. Any higher and you'll need less Mercury and any less, you'll need more. It's reasonable to say that the one in the video is lower than the height of the glass. The size of the hole shouldn't matter should it? I remember learning that when I was back in school a decade ago or sth. You place water into 3 connected cylinders of different circumference and the height of the water will be leveled.

peter griffin thats exactly what a toilet is, you pull the tab and water floods in creating weight to push the water down (like a syphon) and emptying the bowl hopefully getting rid of whatever is inside and then refills.

Smart Student would put some mercury on the bottom ... But you ... You make the demon of greed bow to you ...

It’s amazing how we can just get all those results even without those real experiments, simply with physics formulas! After watching this video, I thought why not work it out, so I derived the equation for the height up to which the water should be filled (given that there’s no limitation on the height of the wine glass, and there exists no surface tension, just to make it simpler) in terms of ‘g’, density of the denser liquid, height of the U tube from the initial level, density of water and the height of the column of that denser liquid. Apparently, if its mercury, we need to have water column’s height 13.6 times that of if the water column filled was replaced by mercury instead. Or simply put, 13.6 times the distance between the top of the mercury level and the top of the U tube. Next step. So even if the Pythagorus’s students were greedy and they somehow manage to save themselves from mercury poisoning, they still can’t drink unlimited wine (given that the U tube has fixed height of ‘h’). It’s just 13.6 times ‘h’. Next step. Let’s get practical. Now the glass itself doesn’t have unlimited height. And it has height of ‘n’ times ‘h’. With lil bit help from integration, you can get that height of drinkable wine too. I won’t spoil the activity for you, go find out if you managed to read up till here sincerely!

This guy's tie is so epic!

And thus the toilet was made
