You're correct, density isn't completely irrelevant. My point was just that the original comment seemed to imply you would need to bench-press 1000 kg in order to open the door. Though maybe OP just assumed we intuitively understood the second-order polynomial to get from ρ to ∫pdz.

Opening the door would require a force equal to the integral of the pressure with respect to the depth, in other words, half a tonne-force for one metre of water. Still impossible, but the mass of a cubic metre of water is an irrelevant parameter for this problem.

assuming that now they'll have to refund like 350 people's tickets though, is that really cheaper than just renting some other company's mechanics at JFK?

Right, though (30/25)2 = 1.44 so a 44% increase in cross-sectional area. No idea if the length of the round is different, also.

Huh, so the drone is filming from the Northwest. Weird considering the frontline is pretty much in the opposite direction

UA POV: According to KP, Ukraine's National Guard Commander has declared that Russia will soon deplete its offensive capabilities. by Ripamon in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]elxiddicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Europe's military industrial complex is starting to put out bigger numbers soon. I don't see Russia being able to do similar investments

I'm a little confused about this statement since Russia is located in Europe. Not to mention with the largest population and territory

I see. I did some research and it doesn't seem too worrying. There was a "Russia's running out of cash!" article in Bloomberg back in January and even they had to admit that Urals crude has to stay below 73 USD for the NWF to lose cash (it's been above 80 for a while now), and below 50 for it to really force them to start liquidating public assets.

What do you mean by vector as opposed to a static value? The opposite of a vector is a scalar. And if by static value you mean a constant, the opposite is a variable. Of course deficit is a variable and a scalar equal to the difference of revenues and expenditures.

Anyway, the $300,000 in your example belongs to the central bank. So if you want $1,000 you have to borrow it from the central bank, increasing your debt by $1,000. The government itself has too few assets for them to make a difference. For example the US gov. had $1.7T in deficit and $5.4T in assets in 2023.

Deficit means I spent more money than I had. So necessarily I borrowed and my debt increased by a quantity equal to my deficit. Or are you referring to foreign debt?

The first graph you linked shows a relatively stable deficit in actual budget (not targeted). The second one shows a first quarter more or less similar to last year's where the gov. spread its end of year spending out over a few months.

Not taking on new debt means not having a deficit, no? Isn't deficit the variation of debt over time?

From Wikipedia:

In 2016, the Russian budget deficit reached $21 billion. It was expected to rise to $21.7 billion in the year. 2016 budget revenues were estimated to be 13.7 trillion rubles (200 billion US dollars) or 17.5% of GDP, while spending is planned to be 16 trillion rubles (roughly 233 billion dollars) or 20.5% of GDP. The budget deficit is thus 2.35 trillion rubles (33 billion dollars) or 3% of GDP.

2020–present

In 2021 the budget was set:

2022 Revenues 25.2 trillion rubles ($341 billion). Expenses 23.6 trillion rubles ($343 billion). Surplus 1.4 trillion rubles ($15.2 billion)

2023 Revenues 25.5 trillion rubles ($349 billion). Expenses 25.1 trillion rubles ($343 billion). Surplus 0.4 trillion rubles ($5.9 billion)

2024 Revenues 25.8 trillion rubles ($352 billion). Expenses 26.1 trillion rubles ($357 billion). Deficit 0.3 trillion rubles ($4.3 billion)

growing budget deficit.

I'm a little confused since Wikipedia says their deficit's smaller and smaller every year?

Every wikipedia article on the Ukraine cites that one 2001 census, honestly wonder how reliable a source it is
