If a 102 foot 2500 lbs. semi rigid straight wood stick (aka bow) is placed in a vice (a really big one with no give) and loaded with energy by pulling at the top, 50 feet above the vice at a 60 degree angle to the ground with a rope ("0" lbs.), where would the stick land if the stick instanteously broke in half two feet above the vice?
I am intersted to know if the pressure applied in the pulling direction will produce motion in the opposite and how much (e.g. how many feet of the stick will land on each side of the vice or will it all land on one side and by how far?)
