archimedes principle debunked, confusing you :)

[bongodriver]

center of gravity....or your stick must have an equal length/width/depth.....i.e. is a cube shaped stick.......simples

[superman]

more surface tension if it floats horizontally...

[retrojet]

...ditto, what they said...

[raaaid]

if this doesnt confuse you as it confuses me well....

im sorry your critic spirit got killed by the educative syustem



FROM WHERE DOES IT GET THE ENERGY TO GO FROM ONE POSITION TO OTHER¡¡¡¡

[bongodriver]

Why have you put the CoG on the waterline?

[raaaid]

because it has density = o.5 so it floats exactly in the midle

thanks for listening litle grasshoper

[bongodriver]

ok genious.....what about the half thats under water.....it will still want to 'float' so it will turn itself until it reaches some sort of stability....i.e. it will lay itself flat

[raaaid]

exactly you got it but water spends energy lowering the level of it or moving the stick cog

but neither happens

an isentropic work in nature?

edit:

so maybe you agree that in both cases the force of the water on the stick aint the same?
