    Calculating Shear Force between a Moving Film and a Cylinder

    If I have a catheter covered in a thin sheathe (think a cylinder, covered by a thin plastic film), how should I go about calculating the shear force it takes to unsheathe the catheter from the sheath (no torque here, just the catheter moving in and out)? I've thought about strain gauges (but...

    Getting the init. velocity given G-force?

    Homework Statement If an object is horizontally pushed with a g-force of 2.6 (imagine a cart with no friction on the wheels being in constant contact with a pusher being pushed for 1600 ft at that g-force and then stops but the cart keeps moving) what is the initial velocity right after it's...
