“Mind-Bending Math: Riddles and Paradoxes” S:1 E:15 Enigmas of Everyday Objects

S:1 E:15 Enigmas of Everyday Objects Classical mechanics is full of paradoxical phenomena, which Professor Kung demonstrates using springs, a slinky, a spool, and oobleck (a non-Newtonian fluid). Learn some of the physical principles that make everyday objects do strange things. Also discussed (but not demonstrated) is how to float a cruise ship in a gallon of water.
