So I feel like I should know this, but I can’t remember. It’s obvious how wide the rectangles full of liquid should be, but how did they know what heights they should have to make this work?
It’s neat, but all it really proves is the existence of a single case for which the theorem holds. I don’t see why it’s at all intuitive from this that it holds for *all* right angled triangles.
How accurate is this? Presumably the 3rd dimension of the reservoirs implies a^3 + b^3 = c^3 ?
Something about Fermat’s last theorem? I could be totally wrong here…
What physics is involved, gravity?
