what can they do besides restrict water/electricity use? granted the US here is behind in eco-friendly power generation, but I'd say personal responsibility is more important
By what means could you stop an aggressor in war? The only option besides complete surrender is intimidation.
I don't recall reading the part about fighting meaning both sides lose in Sun Tzu's teachings in context of this, except for inopportune fighting conditions
I hopped off last year out of hopelessness, and return to reactivate my account at near the same time.
So what is it that brings y'all to return here time after time? For me, I'm pretty sure it's the cold. It must mess with my brain. (43ºF at the time of this post, eat that everyone above 30ºN)
Oh well - perhaps my spirits will be lifted this year, and not by means of death.
just to expand, since it isn't 3-4am, I have to note that force is only while it's lying parallel to the ground... as soon as it gets lifted the forces turn into vectors and it takes less and less force to lift it, until it reaches 90º of course :]
Technically it requires more than 10 to lift it, as exactly 10 would only counteract gravity but nothing more.
any force greater than 44452.05226 Newtons
-Torque1 = Torque2
Not on how much force is required to lift it, no. The only thing you care about is how much force is applied to the object.
None. The force on the object required will always be the same. Assuming you're interested, outstretching your arms would require much more effort on your part. It's all about torque; the force on your hands will always be constant, but the greater the distance from the force to the pivot point(your shoulder/elbow/wrist) is, the greater the torque will be.
The two systems are separate from each other. The art of physics is breaking down a complicated problem into smaller ones!
I used to be "too" nice, and I had lady troubles. Now I'm a decent guy and still have lady troubles. Give me a few years and I'll be a jerk riddled with bitterness, and will likely still have girl troubles!
RE: British versus American English.
defence - defenseI can never decide which way to spell this, and will usually end up using both.
