It's like our brains aren't meant to handle resolving that not only is it pushed through, it's sucked into a thin and ever moving void. It's pushed and pulled at the same time, in otherwords, part of the continuum.
- salawat 7y agoThat's exactly how I mentally model it. You have to imagine it like a stone skimming the surface of the fluid on one side, and a bubble "sucking" the other side into it. It's two concurrent visualizations of the same force.
- taneq 7y agoSuction isn't a real thing, though. It's just our description of when lower pressure on one side of a thing allows the thing to be moved by the higher pressure on the other side. The pressure that the air above the wing applies to the top of the wing is lower than the pressure that the air below the wing applies to the bottom of the wing. The net force is upwards.
- luckyscs 7y agoI'm not sure it's that simple, and my physics knowledge isn't so strong but if it's a gradient, the force of the push can't exist without being the same thing as the force of the pull. They seem to be one in the same, the force isn't onna particular side, it's the effect of the delta between points on the gradient.
