Issue Date: | Nov-2003 | Publisher: | American Association of Physics Teachers | Citation: | The Physics Teacher. 41:8 (2003) 495-496 | Abstract: | The Cartesian diver is a nice toy and an intriguing Physics instrument. Recently we have reported an experimental study on the Cartesian diver statics and dynamics [1], using a specially designed apparatus which is much larger than the usual models. The Cartesian diver is an interesting example of the so-called “fold catastrophe”, the pressure being the control parameter [1], and this behavior is well observed in our apparatus | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/12329 | ISSN: | 0031-921X | DOI: | 10.1119/1.1625211 | Rights: | openAccess |
