Do we have a physics expert in the house.
- Thread starter ceebee
- Start date
Unrelated, but just a short while ago Darren Appleton was on Facebook, posting photo's of him using the BreakRak, and folks were asking about whether they could buy one...perhaps you ought to make an appearance there
Hope someone jumps in to help your physics issue
In general, what sort of calculations?
You're in luck, my dad is a TV repair man. How may I help?
If you post or PM me a description of what you want, I can let you know what it would take (and/or if it is possible).
Regards,
Dave
Here's a physicist who knows a lot about pool....and snooker.

sideloads on the shaft during the shot
Hello Mr Jewett, my friend, a cuemaker, has designed a machine to test shaft wood.
Knowing the sideloads, at different speeds & different distances off center, would be a big help in testing cue shafts for squirt. My friend thinks his new machine will be a boon to the Billiards industry.

I agree with asking Bob J. or Dave A. However, not to be overlooked, is the resident physics expert on the forums. He has repeatedly pointed out the many errors Bob and Dave have made in their testing, and he also has had physics in high school and went on from there to one or two semesters of physics in college! Hard to beat those kind of credentials! I believe he goes on here by Spin-Master....no, that's not it,.....English! Yeah, that's it! Might want to get his input on any testing to be done first.
You want a mechanical engineer more than a physicist. That's going to require analysis.
I'm a mechanical engineer. I suggest you google "strain gauge", do a little research, and see if that does the trick for you. Your description of the calculation to be done was a little light to suggest anything else at this time.
You're a real funny old man, Neil.
Maybe that guy trolling you with that thread should have posted a video of your comedy act.
Oh wait, trolling is not comedy.
No wonder the OP didn't die laughing but instead PMd me today.
I wish I had seen this thread first as he was not clear he was talking about wood instead of manufactured shafts.
When are you trying out for the comedy hour? I hear they are accepting applications for trolls that think they are comedians.

I feel daz, more than any other top pro, would benefit from learning to break better.
