integral a to 0 accelartion x volume
x time dx
x time dx
What is 'it'?i also would like to know what it is.
I have no idea how to respond to that.in non physical sense does it make sense?
Good to see you are on the case. Thanks.Lets give this one last chance:
Ethernos - what, exactly, are you trying to do? Is this a math problem from your homework?
no! sorry. what i actually tried to ask was "could volume be reduced or increased due to acceleration and time?"

That depends on which frame you are in.If this object is accelerated to a relativistic speed, its volume will decrease as per Lorentz length reduction.
See the Lorentz equation for length reduction.That depends on which frame you are in.

Already have, hence my comment that it depends on your frame.See the Lorentz equation for length reduction.
I was under the impression that Lorentz Length Reduction was only based on the stationary outside observer, not the "actual" length? Eg, a co-moving object within the vessels rest frame will not notice a reduction in length, and thus would not note a reduction in volume. As a result, the "actual" volume of the vessel would not decrease (ergo, if you have a vessel of one cubic meter full of water, and accelerate it to 90% the speed of light, water would not "spill out" due to Lorentz Reduction).
