but if you're so smart, where's your math?

My point was that I'm not smart enough to get the physics behind an air plane full of jet fuel and a pressurized air cabin crashing into building, and that's why I don't like the fact that I could've plugged numbers into a simple physics equation to sum up that type of an event.

also, the conversion was from NEWTONS to pounds force - nothing wrong there.
|
The newtons are not going down but he said the acceleration is gravity. The force is pointed sideways so you need an acceleration going sideways.

lso also, pressure = force/area
|
the force wouldn't be distributed over the whole wall so the area would be smaller making the pressure much higher.

also also also, don't knock 10th grade physics - classical mechanics is the foundation of all engineering.

Even newtonian mechanics involved calculus, which is definetaly part of a 10th grade physics class.
