Right, that's why I was figuring on using a accelerometer style setup. But I wanted to give it some facts not just this hurts and this does not. I was wondering like, say I set up markers to tell how far the pendulum swung, how to equate that into say foot pounds of pressure.
Thank you for the reply, that explains a lot on an arrows force with piercing. I guess I should have gone into a little more detail. The subject is specifically on LARP arrows. Arrows designed safely in a matter that they can be fired at people without causing injury. Currently the way they...
So I have been researching, I'm no genius, on how to measure the force of a moving object.
Now I have seen some of the equations and Newtons law and all but what I am specifically trying to do is figure out the impact force of an arrow. eventually this will be calculated into how much force of...
