A longer fin has increased aerodynamic drag. The geometric relationship between the drag caused by the fins and the center of gravity of the rocket determine the stability of the rocket in flight. Less aerodynamic drag means the rocket can go higher or farther, but it also means the rocket is less stable in flight. This tradeoff has to be considered in the design of the rocket.

What is the difference between long radius and short radius elbow?

In the area of industrial pipe fittings: Long radius 90 deg elbow has a take off dimension of one and one half times the nominal diameter of the pipe. Ex-4 inch pipe has an actual diameter of 4.5, for the elbow the take off dimension would be 4"*1.5=6". The short radius elbow take off dimension is the same as the nominal size, 4". To add to the point, a short radius elbow can be used typically where space is a constraint. Hence fluid flow is also restricted in this case unlike in case using of Long Elbow.


What is the difference between shock load and gradually applied loads and suddenly applied Load?

The only difference between a shock load and a gradually applied load is something called an impulse; defined as the integral of a force with respect to time. When a force is applied to a rigid body it changes the momentum of that body. A small force applied for a long time can produce the same momentum change as a large force applied briefly, because it is the product of the force and the time for which it is applied that is important.

What is the disadvantage of adding more pulleys to a system of pulleys?

There are two disadvantages:You will have to pull the rope a long distance to move the load a relatively short distance.There will be more loss of energy to friction with more pulleys.


What are the advantages and limitations of using die inserts?

The advantages are many, in short: You might die and nothing might bother you any more. The disadvantages are also many, in short: you might not die, but you would be dying and that will be the biggest trouble you will be facing for a long period!!! Then you will want to die actually, yet you could not do anything to get dying. Think, that will be terrible. So, do not try to die by any means. Live longer and learn more!!!
