  2. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    This adds to the air velocity on one side of the object and decreases the velocity on the other side. Bernoulli's principle states that under certain conditions increased flow speed is associated with reduced pressure, implying that there is lower air pressure on one side than the other. This pressure difference results in a force perpendicular ...

  3. Torricelli's experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torricelli's_experiment

    Torricelli concluded that the mercury fluid in the tube is aided by the atmospheric pressure that is present on the surface of mercury fluid on the dish. He also stated that the changes of liquid level from day to day are caused by the variation of atmospheric pressure. The empty space in the tube is called the Torricellian vacuum. [3] 760 mmHg ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    The lines are isobars of equal pressure along their length. The arrows show the pressure differential from high (red) to low (blue) and hence also the net force which causes the air to accelerate in that direction. The non-uniform pressure exerts forces on the air in the direction from higher pressure to lower pressure.

  7. Asynclitic birth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynclitic_birth

    Situational factors include a short umbilical cord and unevenness of the pregnant person's pelvic floor during contractions, leading to the baby's head tipping to one side. [5] Asynclitism can also begin at the time of birth. This happens when the fetus quickly comes down on the pelvic floor before straightening its head when the water breaks. [14]

    The joint locks (or rather becomes close packed) on one side as weight is transferred from one leg to the other, and through the pelvis the body weight is transmitted from the sacrum to the hip bone. The motions of the sacroiliac joint Anterior innominate tilt of both hip bones on the sacrum (where the left and right move as a unit)

    But now—thanks to a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters—we can see that, in less than two decades, Earth has tilted 31.5 inches as a result of pumping groundwater. This ...
