Can somebody describe wave making resistance in terms of pressure distribution on a body (near or at a free surface)?

Cheers, Simon

Or there just aren't many shipbuilders here. I know what it is but that is about it.
 

Thread 'E-Bike/Scooter Li Battery Fires'

How E-Bike Battery Fires Became a Deadly Crisis in New York City https://www.yahoo.com/news/e-bike-battery-fires-became-120807964.html Do not bring Li batteries into an apartment or occupied structure. They should be stored in non-flammable structures, either metal, brick or cement/concrete. Don't overcharge batteries. Know what to do if one catches fire. Keep them away from flammable materials. Make sure the batteries are not counterfeit. Be cautious of used or damaged batteries.

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
