How long is a piece of string?

Oldman · 25-04-2008, 04:58 PM

Twice as long from the middle to one end

greenhj · 25-04-2008, 05:25 PM

whats the thickness of the string? a thicker string will stretch further under tension.

-------------

The horsepower made is inversely proportionate to the joy your neighbours feel when you start it first thing in the morning, about half as much as you really want, and four times as much as youll need on a wet road.

is it polyester, hemp, or cotton.

Oh the confusion

hxchev · 30-04-2008, 09:22 PM

it depends on how long you cut it

Ugly Ash · 06-05-2008, 09:28 PM

forget the horsepower... my guess is 1 metre. and polyester... with the end burnt

Ugly Ash · 06-05-2008, 10:23 PM

i got a piece of string that will leave victor bray shacking in his boots

Ugly Ash · 07-05-2008, 01:16 PM

how thick is this string, can we calculate horsepower using a thickness x length squared formula? has anybody got a string dyno so that figures are not just pulled out of the air?
