Well,that's troubling. ZZzz and I agree that Turok isn't as smart as he thinks he is.... I need a Bloody Mary after that...

You demonstrate again your inability to think in the abstract. I filled in some of the blanks for you, simpleton...

Ok, let's be more specific. 1-The jets provide , say, 100,000 lbs of thrust. 2- it would take, say 40,000 lbs of thrust to roll the jet along on level ground at 150mph (assumed takeoff velocity). 3- so there's 70,000 lbs of thrust that must be counteracted to negate forward movement. 4-...

Well, ZZzz deleted a post. In it he states that under the theoretical assumption that a plane couldn't take off if the conveyor belt moved equal to wheel speed. That's actually true, but the problem with that is it's impossible to achieve in anything else but theoretical circumstances...

Then you're not as smart as you think you are. Mph > conveyor and wheels. lbs thrust > jets and ? Think of your excellent wheelchair on the treadmill example. When you push the chair up the ramp, what would be required to prevent you from doing that? An opposing force. My Q to...

Yes, THEY can..... Thrust, as you say, can be measured in lbs. So what force, in lbs, counteract the thrust? Still apples and oranges? "IF" someone takes the stand that the plane won't move, then they should be able to solve for X. That is, show what would counteract the engine thrust to...

Let's see if I can remember my algebra- Solve for X: X + conveyor speed = wheel speed + engine thrust Assume, as you say, that conveyor speed = wheel speed. And conveyor/wheel speed can spin to infinity, since that is a logical condition of the question. X = engine thrust. It is...

Hard to believe that the supposedly intelligent traders here don't understand this....

Wow, 14:56 ym bar was 50 pts

Everything is parasitic.

This is where you start

Even better, consider the infinity situation - conveyor and wheels could spin at an infinite speed. I see the equation like this: INFINITY (belt speed) vs INFINITY (tire speed) + engine thrust. Infinity cancel each other out, leaving you with engine thrust, meaning you'll take off as...

It's a trick question JB. The wheels and thrust from the jets are disconnected. In this hypothetical situation, the plane would move forward, no matter how fast you ran the conveyor. For instance, if the takeoff speed is say, 150 mph, and you ran the conveyor at 150 mph, then the wheels would...

Endowed

Mine are set to default = market. Try right clicking on a sell/buy button instaed of the close button. There should be an option there to attach a stop loss/trailing stop. Edit: it must use some kind of logic when you hit close/reverse, cuz if you're in a position, say for instance long...

Wow, the Sox are spankin' the Rockies. Remember, the Fed, like any good parasite, isn't out to kill its' host. It needs the US to be prosperous in order to do what it does.

I agree with most of what you said. However, nothing is free. Every advance needs people and money to make it happen. When you say "to finance" I guess it's the same old tired argument about how our taxes go to pay interest to the Fed, blah blah blah. This makes about as much sense as...

You're kidding, right? No guaranteed banks. No safety regs in the worplace. No safety regs for planes. Child labor. No WICC No Social Security. No Welfare. And of course, no standing army. on and on.....

I also avoid the 11:00 to 14:00 area like the plague. I just don't have the ability yet to recognize change fast enough to trade these areas. granted, an arbitrary rule set, but one that works for me. Also, think of the posts made about most days looking like "W" or "M". Which leg were we in...

LOL- Yes, I bought BTJ yesterday at 40.15 and sold this morning when ES started down to save profit. Made about 2%. Of course, it is now up 10%. Ha ha. Better to be conservative. There should be more coming.....
