Please tell me that everyone who said no in that thread (and this one) was joking. Otherwise I won't know whether to laugh or cry (or start mocking bitches).

It reminds me of that thread about what a jet (thrust) powered car would put down on a dyno


Here is another problem:

A lake is 10 kilometres wide x 10 kilometres long with a dam at one end. The water depth at the wall of the dam is 100 metres.

A soda straw is 100 metres long. It is suspended vertically and filled with water.

Is the pressure at the bottom of the dam wall more than, less than or equal to the pressure at the bottom of the soda straw?

(anyone who mentions metric gets a complimentary punch to the nuts)
