Someone once said that there are no stupid questions...

I'm thinking about writing a movie based on real events. No seriously, this kind of thing happens every day.

Classroom - Day

It is a stuffy little basement classroom. Students are packed into tight rows of old, uncomfortable chairs. There are equations on the board describing the pressure of a fluid acting on a body. The professor is discussing an example involving a cylinder. There is a convincing 3-dimensional depiction of a cylinder drawn on the board.

A boy raises his hand.

Professor

A cylinder.

Front Row Hero

So it's the force on a sphere?
