AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a theoretical scenario involving a plane's wheel and a block that prevents movement. The user questions the effects of the wheel's material, the block, and the floor on the plane's ability to move, particularly when the plane is at full throttle but stationary due to the block. Clarification is sought on whether the block's height affects the situation, especially if it only touches the wheel. Responses indicate confusion about the setup and emphasize the importance of the block's position and stability. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for grasping the mechanics involved in this scenario.

I have some theoretical questions that I can not answer for a proper understanding of the situation... Can you help me please?

We have a system - a wheel of a plane and a block http://fykos.cz/rocnik26/obrazky/s5u4_zadani.png

The plane begins to move. May be a situation where plane is going to full throttle but still is in a same place (cause the block)? How it depends on the wheel material, the block and the floor? My friend said it is a special case when the block is high just on the touch of wheel. What will happen?

Thanks and sorry for my bad English,
Numeriprimi

Your English is excellent but your link will not open and I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about an airplane, that has a block against each wheel preventing it from moving? What is holding the block in place? If the block is low enough, the wheel can just step onto and over the block.
 
I attached the picture from the link he posted.

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
