Again, you've ignored the other 49 masses that are about to hit the turn. They're more than enough to stop the pipe then reverse its direction.


it wouldnt be 49 it would be 50

I havent ignored the other 50 masses that are being accelerated towards the turn.

during the 51 st second they are whats providing the force that pushes the pipe.

you have agreed that the formula is correct other than the initial velocity values.

so I will plug in that formula into my program.

m2 vi +12.84147 m/s

m2 v = +11.52999459 m/s

this single mass managed to slow the pipes velocity by
1.31147541 m/s in 1 second

however the pipes mass becomes less each second
and
the force driving the pipe in the (+) direction
becomes stronger each second.

for the next 50 seconds the force driving the pipe will increase by a minimum of 80N each second and more if the speed of the exiting mass has a velocity
greater than +40 m/s.

and the mass that the increasing force has to push becomes less and less each second.

anyway , I'll plug the formula in today.
