94 why would you want to hold the tube - that would keep it from unrolling.Are you guys effing with me?
Humid air is less dense than dryer air at the same temperature.
saw it explained during a baseball game in Arlington TX by some smart guy - PhysicsH2O is two Hydrogen atoms (atomic weight 1) and 1 oxygen atom (atomic weight 16). Total weight of molecule 18.
the ball flys farther in humid hot air
Well that's kind of its purpose...So holding the roll in place will prevent the roll from spinning - dispensing the product.Engineer you're over thinking this :-[
H2O is two Hydrogen atoms (atomic weight 1) and 1 oxygen atom (atomic weight 16). Total weight of molecule 18.How come when you launch a loogie it doesn't suspend surrounded by more Nitrogen/Oxygen,asking for a friend
O2 is two Oxygen atoms, total weight of molecule 32.
Atomic weight of Nitrogen is 14, and it is N2 in gaseous form, with a total weight of molecule of 28.
Generally nitrogen is about 79% of the atmosphere and oxygen about 20%, with the extra 1% a mix.
But water vapor, being lower molecular weight than either N2 or O2, would then make the air less dense when it takes up space in the atmosphere.
So holding the roll in place will prevent the roll from spinning - dispensing the product.Engineer you're over thinking this :-[dude,

. . . The term "knots" is used because it is related closely to degrees of longitude and latitude.???
(https://i.imgur.com/oB8NwyV.png)Hmmm. Looks like a joke.
Per Wikipedia, a nautical mile was defined as one minute of latitude along any line of longitude.Yep.

Yep.I presume you know, right? The sailing ships would calculate speed using a knotted rope lain along side the ship in the water to get "water speed". The knots were separated by a standard length and a sailor would count as they passed it, one knot, two knots, etc.
My question was not about what it is, but how the name"knot" came about.
I presume you know, right? The sailing ships would calculate speed using a knotted rope lain along side the ship in the water to get "water speed". The knots were separated by a standard length and a sailor would count as they passed it, one knot, two knots, etc.Yes, I mentioned that in my response upthread to your statement that the term "knots" derives from lat and long.
Strange. I thought that the term knot, when used in this context, was a bastardized version of nautical, not the knot-in-rope line.That's the other story you get, as I also mentioned upthread.
Strange. I thought that the term knot, when used in this context, was a bastardized version of nautical, not the knot-in-rope line.apparently its both
The distance between the knots on the log-line should contain 1/120 of a mile, supposing the glass to run exactly half a minute. [Jorge Juan and Antonio de Ulloa, "A Voyage to South America" 1760]
Strange. I thought that the term knot, when used in this context, was a bastardized version of nautical, not the knot-in-rope line.Same-same
The nautical unit of measure of speed (1630s) is from the practice of attaching knotted string to the log line at equal distances (see log (https://www.etymonline.com/word/log?ref=etymonline_crossreference#etymonline_v_43590) (n.2)). The ship's speed can be measured by the number of knots that play out while the sand glass is running.That's all good and fine wind/weather/waves would factor into that.So kind of a shaky method of measurement
Hence the word knot came also to be used as the equivalent of a nautical mile (in pre-World War II use in U.S. and Britain, about 6,080 feet). A speed of 10 knots will cover ten nautical miles in an hour (equivalent to a land speed of about 11.5 mph).
Investors cannot actually invest in an index, ex. S&P 500. Instead you are investing in investment vehicles that attempt to track a particular index. YMMV.
That's all good and fine wind/weather/waves would factor into that.So kind of a shaky method of measurementIt's just a measure of speed through the water, like airspeed indicators just measure speed through the air. Water currents and wind of course change how movement through the media results in movement relative to the geographic grid.

You're saying I can't invest in the common stocks of all of the 505 companies that comprise the S&P 500? Because I'm not sure you're right about that... ;)You're stealing my lines. I always say this to people when they say they invest in an index. I ask them about their trading costs of execution, and their weights and how are they able to dollar cost average 500+ holdings at $2k a month? Do they really use Robin Hood?
If I did such a thing, then I would effectively be investing in the index.
Of course, what should the contribution percentage of the investment in each company be? Would it be weighted? Should it be related to MCAP? Some common business multiple? I'd have to think on how I would approach that.
Still a weird way to measure speed.Say you have a Mercruiser I/O at half throttle the boat speed is still predicated on wind,wave direction & height ,current.On a flat windless day you'll get more speed at the same throttle incrementsDoes the accuracy of the speedometer vary with wind and wave movements, though?

I liked that plane a lot even though it was tiny. It was easy to handle. That's the one that I was flying when the engine quit.Never heard that story,did you glide it down?did you get it restarted?did you jump with a chute
Does the accuracy of the speedometer vary with wind and wave movements, though?I'll defer to Capt Badger, but yes, the boats I'm used to measure speed through water under the boat. Now if you use your GPS device.....
No but the speed your going I'm just lost in the translation trying to correlateI think I'm missing the point that you are making.
Still a weird way to measure speed.Say you have a Mercruiser I/O at half throttle the boat speed is still predicated on wind,wave direction & height ,current.On a flat windless day you'll get more speed at the same throttle incrementsisn't this true of drive on land as well? it's immaterial in real world, but theoretically the wind and/or movement of the earth should effect land speed.

Would an IPA loogie have longer hang time than say an Oatmeal Stoudt or Doppelbock loogie.Man this off season has been ridiculously brutalIPA wouldn't have great hang time... I'm thinking the viscosity is too low. Specific gravity of an IPA usually finishes lower than the stout or dopplebock though, so if you're high enough that wind resistance becomes a factor when the loogie lets go, it will be less dense and might take slightly longer to reach the ground.
In a plane, you have air speed and ground speed, both are important. In a light plane you might have a group speed of say 60 knots which is fine and an air speed of say 30 knots, which would NOT be fine at all. The same is true for a boat but you'd just lose steerage, you wouldn't fall out of the sky.Been there. Buddy was a pilot and we went up in a 152 once on a very windy day. Held it just shy of stall against the stiff wind. I think we had negative ground speed.
The two things meet when you land, which can get ticklish at times.
I recall flying one wintry day with my instructor in a Cessna 152 and we were doing about 40 knots ground speed at cruise throttle. He was looking out the window for deer.
I could have flown it over one spot that day, you can maintain control under 40 knots air speed and we had more than that over the wing steady from wind.
I liked that plane a lot even though it was tiny. It was easy to handle. That's the one that I was flying when the engine quit.
isn't this true of drive on land as well? it's immaterial in real world, but theoretically the wind and/or movement of the earth should effect land speed.But it won't affect speedometer measurement, which is based on wheel RPM, assuming a known tire diameter.
IPA wouldn't have great hang time... ....Thank You I will certainly carry that with me for the rest of my days
That's why when you put on wheels/tires that have a slightly different diameter (like going from 32" to 35" tires on an off-roader) you have to recalibrate your speedometer.That makes perfect sense
The short version is this. It was a beautiful November day and I thought I'd take my son who was about 12 flying and teach him a bit about navigation. There was an airport in Indiana that had cheap gas, so we flew there, had a coke, filled up, and I took off. I was climbing out and the engine which had been newly rebuilt seemed to be laboring. I reached about 2,000 feet above ground level and it was missing notably. I made a mayday call at that point and was trying to reach Richmond, Indiana airport, and about 3 miles north of that the engine seized, quite dramatically, shook the plane, and quit. I dead sticked into a soy bean field that was cleared.Shit.
Made the Dayton 11 o'clock news, caused quite a ruckus.
The hilarious thing is we eventually got a flat bed tow truck out into the soy bean field and got the Cessna on the bed and tied it down and drove it to the airport with a police escort shutting down the road. I got the tow bill, I was treasurer for the flying club, and it was $200. Only in rural Indiana.
The engine had a new cylinder in it, and apparently the rings were seated improperly. That cylinder melted down, I have photos of it somewhere. Broke the crank.
You basically land dead stick anyway if you set it up right. I had barely enough room in that field, which was muddy, and I was skidding while braking a bit, you can brake each wheel independently. I did not want to ground loop, and didn't. Made for an interesting log entry in my book.
The problem was blamed on the engine company in Texas. We had some issues with them, and I was about to get a lawyer on our side when the NTSB report came in. They paid up, for an entirely new engine which was about $37,000 cash. Usually a rebuild is about $20,000, but we had no core to sway out. I had a lawyer call me to sue for damages personally and told him to leave me alone.You probably could have cleaned up in a court case.You mentioned you had issues with them,they can't send aircraft up like it's the Skunk Works,Area 51 or Wright-Patterson.These idgits should realise reliability comes into play and it's no time to work the kinks out when one is thousands of feet in the SKY.Did you or the organisation get a new plane out of it?
Must be nice to have the coin to purchase planes then let them sit unfinished in a garage somewhere.Provided nothing befell himIf it flies, floats, or f***s, it's better to rent.
you have to recalibrate your speedometer
is that something that can be done more easily with the computer these days?
Been there. Buddy was a pilot and we went up in a 152 once on a very windy day. Held it just shy of stall against the stiff wind. I think we had negative ground speed.I once read a story from the days of post-WWI barnstorming. A guy in a Curtiss JN-4 Jenny trying to drum up a crowd flew over a small town with a little airstrip, to which he had sent his ground support truck, nearby. The Jenny cruised at 52 knots. Stall speed was something like 20-25 knots. So he pulled into a stiff wind over the town and throttled back to zero groundspeed. After a crowd gathered, he dropped a weighted note to the crowd telling them that he needed help because his elevator was stuck. There was nothing the people on the ground could do, of course, but the crowd grew.
The unusual thing about flying as slow as possible in one of these planes is that you do it at full throttle, which perhaps also is counterintuitive.I've only got a couple of hours in fixed-wing aircraft, but I'm guessing that you'd use full throttle and also full flaps, yes?
Yup, full flaps nose in the air, full power steer with the rudder. Air speed under 40.That sounds disconcerting. Something like hovering a helicopter at 10,000 feet with the ground about 9500 feet below you.
A deadstick landing, also called a dead-stick landing, is a type of forced landing when an aircraft loses all of its propulsive power and is forced to land. The "stick" does not refer to the flight controls, which in most aircraft are either fully or partially functional without engine power, but to the traditional wooden propeller, which without power would just be a "dead stick".
So, I'm sitting in the sheriffs car, and it's a lady and she is quite attractive despite wearing body armor, and the news vans pull up. She told me I could talk or not, and I said I would, I wanted to thank the controller in Dayton, and did. The lead in to the 11 PM news was "Excitement in the skies over Richmond" and then a commercial.
I go back to the nice lady sheriff and we're chatting about what needs to be done and I say for her to contact the NTSB. We go through that for a bit and she says "What do you want to do with the plane?" and then suggests calling a tow company, which arrives as I noted before. We spent over an hour going about 2 miles to the airport. They had two guys with poles pushing branches out of the way and ensuring we could clear electrical lines. Meanwhile, the boy was supposed to go to his mom's for dinner as it was her weekend, so I get patched through and get her answering machine and leave a message that I had to make a "precautionary landing" at Richmond and could she come pick us up. A bit later she calls the number I left which was the sheriff's office and the dispatcher says "Oh, you mean the guy who landed in the soy bean field?" so the ex goes ballistic for a bit. I had to tell the lad to quit laughing, he thought this was great fun now.
We get to the airport and drop the plane (I mentioned the tow bill came to $200 somehow) and are waiting and the boy sees posters for sky diving and asks me if he can do that next weekend. I demurred. The ex picks us up, drops me off at my house, and has her dinner with the other kids, I missed the news, but my kids saw it.
The lady Sheriff gave me her phone number but I never called her about anything. She really was good looking and professional to boot. Missed op.
