How many planes have flown under the St. Louis Gateway Arch?

At least 6 planes have flown under the gateway arch since it was completed in the mid 1960s. According to the Feb 1, 1981 edition of the Lakeland Ledger*, including the latest 1981 incident, none of the pilots or aircraft were positively identified.

It should be noted that flying in this manner violates at least 2 sections of the Federal Aviation Regulations: FAR 91.13(a) prohibiting careless or reckless flight and 91.119(b) requiring a minimum of 1000 feet vertical and 2000 feet horizontal separation from the highest obstacle in congested areas. If a pilot of an aircraft was caught flying in such a manner, that pilot should expect an immediate revocation of his or her certificate.

A gun loop is a long-used military term that describes a simple, secure, reliable means of communications. It is simply WD-1 slash-wire ran between machine gun positions when in a defensive posture.

What mathematical formula do architectural engineers use in calculating the bollard pull of a tug boat?

Engineers use almost all mathematical formulas that exist, since engineering covers the entire range of science.

Normally we use a simple formula

if tug has amain engines and standard 4:1 gear box : we use formula of 1/ 10

if you bhp is 900 , you get Normal 9 bollard pull

how ever if you have Kort nozzles & K type propeller you can multiply by 1.3 henf 9 x 1.3 = 11.7 approx 12

you have to do Bolard pul test wiht Steel wire rope as it has no Give and use a standard length of 120 meters

sea condition has ot be "CALM " or Still normally one hour after high tide

angle of rope has to not over 2 - 5 degrees over 120 meter

never do Bollard pull test with Nylon ropes or length below 120 meters

the test is then invalid

you can get very high bollard pul if you increase Reduction gear by say

16 : 1 and use large Pitch and Diameter propllers wiht slow speed engines max 100 rpm - 120 rpm call me if you need advice

What is the compression strength of pine wood?

Im building a bench. Im using 2"x10" pine. Is 5' between braces strong enough?

It depends on how many boards your are putting on your bench.

To give you an idea, I ran through some quick numbers for you.

@ 5'. one 2" x 10" x ?? pine board assuming a 400lb load (2-3 people) you will have deflection of .42" PER board which is fine. Less than 1/2 inch.

@ 4' your deflection is reduced to .22" PER board which is even better. You really shouldn't have a problem at 5', unless a 400lb guy jumps on the middle of your bench.

The maximum weight it will take in the middle before fracture is 688 lb @ 5'/brace and 860 @ 4'...and keep in mind this is per board so if you have two....you should be fine.

This is as long as it is standard pine. .
