Physics Puzzle for the Gearheads
May 19, 2020 at 4:07 pm
The other day I was putting my SO's car up on the two post lift to change the oil.
She was watching as I ran the lift up and I commented to her - "Hey - it's finally 70° F in here." She walked across the bay and looked at the small wall mount thermometer - and to her surprise - confirmed I was right.
How did I know?

The thermometer is stuck.

I’m guessing something to do with the viscosity of hydraulic oil at 70F.

Because you're an old fart like me and won't work in colder weather anymore. Final Answer.
