Force Pull

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the force needed to pull a 16-pound recurve bow 1 meter, one must understand that the bow's poundage indicates the force required to draw it to a specific distance, typically 28 inches. The force can be approximated using the bow's draw weight, which is 16 pounds, but this may vary based on the draw length and bow design. For precise calculations, factors such as the bow's efficiency and the archer's technique should also be considered. Resources like the linked Stack Exchange article provide additional insights into bow mechanics and terminology. Understanding these elements is crucial for accurate force measurement in archery.

Hey everyone,

A question-
How can I work out the force needed to pull a 16-pound recurve bow 1 meter?

Thank you all in advance

Is this a trick question?

Thread 'Light speedup question'

If light travels in a wave, couldn't we "speed it up" by making it travel in a straight line?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
