Bubble Sum
Hi all,
I have a small problem I would like to solve :
Suppose 2 same soap bubbles on a table :
a) glued at each other with a plane separation, what is the volume and shape ?
b) if the separation is made away, forming a unique bubble, what is the final volume ? (note : Vfinal>V1+V2)
Bye.

Re: Bubble Sum
a.) I kind of imagine two over-sized quarter spheres
attached to each other. I would say they each are 29%
spheres, but look rather like right angled walls: the floor
and the plane of attachment and then they both go upward
a little into the air from the top of the meeting point.
Imagine for a moment that even an earthworm may possess a love of self and a love of others.

Re: Bubble Sum
Hi John,
thanks for your info. Did you get 29% from a calculation ? I have a video about but I can't up load it, maybe it's seeable at : https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9pGxyM9yy2fNDMxMjgyYWQtNjQ0Ny00NGYzLTllOTUtMzFkNmIwNGY1MTky&hl=en
