Re: No-one knows the answer to the tenth question ('cept me)

I am interested to know the solution, but cannot solve this problem on my own since I am not an expert in physics.

In my opinion, this problem is likely to elicit a much better response if this is resubmitted in other subforums like: General Physics, Classical physics, etc.
