If I hit a swinging 10 pound bag of sand 37 inches in 13 of a second, what force did I apply to that swinging 10 pound bag of sand?  Show how to get to the answer.

Yes, very cute Nauseated.   (ノ◒▽◒)ノ

I knew the units would not be the standard ones but I didn't think it would matter.

I think i have worked out what you were talking about.

it was just a trivial copy error that left the answer with the wrong units.

 

I am sure Nauseated could have fixed it but he is too busy in Wonderland. 

He has to keep his like-minded friend - the hatter, company.  

Half joking Nauseated. 

We all have to get our priorities right. :)

 

Anyway maybe my answer is fixed now.     |ʘ‿ʘ)╯

Hi Gibson,

 

You probably already know that I am not a physics person but I will give it a shot :)

 

I have not taken the swinging bit into any consideration.  I don't think that you can because you do not know what its 'radius' is.

 

F=ma                 m=10   pounds

 

s=37 inches,  t=1/3 sec,   u=0,  v=?     a=?      But I need to find a

 

So if I am to use physics formulas then it could have s,t,u and a   BUT not v

 

S=ut+(12)×at2

 

37=0t+12a(13)237=12a193729=aa=666inches/s2F=maF=10666F=6660poundsinches/s2F=6660/12poundsfeet/s2F=555poundsfeet/s2

 

NOTE: A small error has been fixed.   Maybe it is right now.

Has anyone noticed odd changes -- like space-time distortions where yesterday is tomorrow, and the universe seems a little more salty?

 

 

Maybe it’s just me :)
