What, and you're against increasing the post-count of the board? If nothing else, we're a few posts further ahead of "the other board".

Said what????

:dunno: what you are talking about.

Ah...I am not against :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

Ah...I am not against :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

I misunderstood... but you know there are laws against that in most States!

Also, my handwriting hasn't improved.

Are you left handed?

Update on the Mythbusters episode. Apparently there were a lot of people really upset about the "snafu". There is a preview of the actual PoCB episode on the Mythbuster's website now that says the air date is going to be January 30. So mark your calendars for the day we will all see the plane take off with no problem.

BTW Frazil, there are select full episodes of Mythbusters on the Discovery website so hopefully this episode will end up on there.

Also, when I lift weights, my left arm is stronger than my right, just a tad.

There might be some other explanation for that, but that's a topic for another forum.

ground speed...

air speed...

force generated by plane engine acts on air not ground....

wheel friction negligible...

hmmm, I know it flies, but I'm gonna play devils advocate and say it doesn't just to keep this thread alive.
I say it can't fly, the wheels aren't pushing it forward.

Sez the man who went to all the trouble of creating the FBD for the problem.

:lmao:

 

[Flyer_PE]

I remember. I joined after that thread was well on it's way to HOF though. That was a scream.

Bye the way: Welcome Back.

 

[MA_PE]

now let me see if I'm understanding the problem correctly. The plane is on a moving conveyor, like a treadmill, right...and then as the plane starts moving forward.....
