jaxashby tells the world how he is satisfied by his performance of a
simple physics problem, a performance so poor it would make a junior
high student wince with embarassment, yet he still feels qualified to
lecture others.

mod vador, have you ever contributed anything at all to this ng or any other in
any way related to sailing? refresh out memories, if you would.

I suggest that Jax post his equations

D = 16 T^2

S = T * A

A (one G) = 32 ft/sec^2

you can find these equations in a junior high school science class for

advanced
students.


Ah, I see your problem. You have already substituted the accelleration
constant g into d=16t^2 and multiples of g were apparently not dealt
with properly. Use d=(1/2)at^2 and you might get better results.
