We recently purchased a rural home in Wisconsin. We moved in just prior to the heavy snowfalls in 2007. Plowing out the driveway was a monumental chore which I would like to eliminate this year. Any suggestions on how to properly install a snow fence?

Answer:

When placing a snow fence or tree windbreak, consider that the protected downwind area will generally be 10 to 15 times the height of the fence or trees. For example, an 80% solid, 12-ft high windbreak fence will protect an area 120 to 180 ft downwind. Also, most of the snow will drop within roughly the first 25% of the protected area. For the example of the 12-ft high fence, most of the snow would pile up within 30 to 45 ft of the fence.

A 4-ft high fence will provide 40-60 feet of downwind protection with most of the snow piling up within the first 10 feet.

How do you calculate a setback force of a projectile?

The setback force of a projectile is typically calculated by determining the change in momentum of the projectile upon impact with the target. This can be calculated using the formula: Setback force = change in momentum / time of impact. The setback force experienced by the projectile depends on factors such as the mass of the projectile, its velocity, and the material properties of both the projectile and the target.
