Since the energy stored elastically by an object is represented by E = 0.5kx^2 a simple calculation can be done to see how much energy is being stored by your slingshot on any given pull: The x value represents the distortion in meters (ie. the difference between the length of the band when it is in its resting state, and its length when it is being pulled). The k value is the elastic constant for the surgical tubing. This value can be looked up in a chart or table, or can be calculated experimentally (with the use of the equation: F = kx, again where k and x represent the elastic constant, and deformation, respectively). Once you have your values, simply substitute them into the equation and solve. The calculated energy stored, will have its units in Joules (J).

How do you make a talk box?

I have made a talk box before. What you need is some surgical tubing, a high current dual pole single throw switch, a small - high powered- speaker and a small sealable box to fit it in. You will also need an amplifier that has the speaker output that you can use. You need to mount the speaker and the switch into the box - wiring the speaker so when you push the switch, it will route the signal to the speaker in the box or back to the speaker from the amplifier. Make sure that the box has a hole in it that you can attach the surgical tubing that is on the same side as the front of the speaker. Attach the tubing to the box. If you want, there are plumbing fitings that you can buy from your local hardware store that will allow you to remove the tubing from the box. Then seal it all up. You can use silicone for that. run the surgical tubing from the box to the microphone that you are using. The sound will travel through the surgical tubing and into your mouth and then through the microphone.


Why use fr for sizes?

I can't say why it persists, but tubing sizes are called "french" because they were invented by a French man who made surgical instruments.

What are the benefits of using insulated PEX tubing for heating and plumbing systems?

Insulated PEX tubing provides improved energy efficiency by reducing heat loss, which can lead to lower energy bills. It also helps prevent freezing in cold climates, reducing the risk of burst pipes. Additionally, insulated PEX tubing is flexible and easy to install, making it a cost-effective option for heating and plumbing systems.


Why are some acr tubing lines insulated?

ACR tubing lines are insulated to prevent condensation from forming on the exterior of the pipes. This helps to maintain the efficiency of the system by reducing heat loss and potential energy waste. Insulation also helps protect the tubing from physical damage and prolongs its lifespan.

What are 2 differences between tubing and sledding?

Water tubing your on water in the summer, snow tubing your on snow during the winter. Water tubing is behind a boat and snow tubing is down a hill. Water tubing has special tubes that are expensive and snow tubing can use any tube. Water tubing you have to wear a type II life jacket by law and snow tubing you don't have to wear anything. Water tubing needs an observer, driver, and the person being towed and snow tubing only need the person on the tube. Also in my personal opinion Water Tubing is awesome! and snow tubing is alright.
