Pressure on the walls of a balloon

I vote for your second iterpretation: the elastic tension of the balloon takes part in the pressure balance. Just consider a very strong balloon, it will hold gas inside even in a vacuum condition. …

Flowrate of liquid rushing into a bucket

The liquid flows in from height $0$ to $h$ within the upper extension of the lateral surface (assume bucket radius $R$). For height $x$ between $0$ and $h$, the flow rate of liquid can be estimated fr …

Entropy for constant pressure

The answer to your question is NO. Starting with the first law: \begin{align} \Delta Q &= d U + P dV \\ T d S &= dU + P dV \\ dU &= TdS - PdV \tag{1} \end{align} In equation (1), we read t …

Proof of pressure of system in molecular dynamics

Apparently, the pressure will come from the second category. Let's investigate (b) first: The force from the container occurs for $\vec{r}_k$ at the container surface. … Where the gas exerts pressure $P$ to the surface perpendicular to the surface $ P d\vec{A}$, therefore the surface also renders the same force but in the opposite direction $d\vec{F} = - P d\vec{A}$. …

How does Pascal's law apply in the case of two openings with different pressures?

. $$ Newton's Law: At point A, the water exerts a pressure $P_1$ to balance the piston's external pressure $P_1$. … Also at point $B$, the piston has pressure $P_2$ from water to balance the external pressure $P_2$. …

Equillibrium Position of Partition

The higher temperature part render a larger photon pressure, and therefore push the piston toward the side of lower temperature. Different from the gas pressure and volume concept. …
