Looking nice! :)
(Again, where's the coffee stain?)
It's my electronics exercise notebook that got the biggest hit. :)

That is, you've drawn N smaller than W.
That doesn't leave much for any net centripetal force does it?
Perhaps the hammerhead will be flying away...
Hope it doesn't impact something else!
Waaaaaaaait a second now, the length of the vector was completely arbitrary. If I knew it mattered, I'd wait for the results before drawing them. But other than the lengths, it's correct right?
And you're right, the speed turns into a force.
Right there you have an entirely new beast called "impulse", which is force times time.
I don't think your studying material covered that yet! :)
Note that we have no information about how great this force would be, although we can say a little on how large the change in "momentum" will be (another, or rather the same, new beast) .
That's a fascinating input!
I love how you expand the engineering realm to me when I study something basic, and you show more something more advanced that I'm able to understand :)
Eep! It does?
Nah, was just looking for a joke ;)
