The lead hammer will have slightly less

Only if it deforms

Simp's correct Thom. Think of the rock as the hammer. Try hitting
an
anvil 100 times with a 20lb steel sledge, then do it with a 22lb
plastic
or
rubber hammer.

Scotty

Then try hitting it with a lead hammer. the same force is applied to
the rock.

First the idiot Oz and now you. Oh well . . .

Lord but you people are daft! Allow me to do a little
experiment on your jaw, you silly old fart. Let me
punch you in the jaw with my fist in a boxing glove.

Then, when you regain consciousness, and rub
your sore jaw allow me to hit it again my balled
up fist without the glove. Whereas all you lost
with the fist in glove is consciousness what you
lose with my balled up fist is consciousness
plus a broken jaw.

Your hull is your jaw. The lead keel is my fist in a
glove. The cast iron keel is my balled up fist.
Understand now you putz?

You too, Oz you weenie.

Sorry Mr. Simon but boxing gloves are to protect the fighters hands.
They do nothing to soften the effects. Modern fighters can hit harder
with the gloves without breaking their hands than bareknuckle
fighters.

Old bareknuckle fighters used to push, shove and wrestle a lot. Most
blows were to the body.

Ask on rec.sport.boxing if you wish.

You, sir, are a knucklehead! Boxing gloves were required
to keep boxers from killing each other regularly. An
ungloved hand can and will do much more damage than
a gloved hand. The ungloved hand transfers much more
pounds per square inch force than a gloved hand. The
ungloved hand causes much greater bone breakage of
the nose, jaw and occipital orbit than the gloved hand.
The bare hand causes much greater and severe cuts
than does the gloved hand.

I don't have to go to some lame boxing newsgroup
frequented by punch-drunk retards like Mike Tyson
to know that the laws of physics apply in boxing as
in everything else including the fact that a lead keel
softens the blow to the hull just as a boxing glove
softens the blow to any fool's head who attempts
to argue with me.

Ah, yes. Physics. As in thin finger bones smashing aginst thick
skull bones.
Theory aside, old-time bareknuckle fighters punched almost exclusively
to the body.

Hey mister toy tugboat skipper, what makes you
so jealous of me? Is it because you know with
your silly restored tugboat you really can't go
anywhere, do anything, or even manage to fool
yourself into thinking you are enjoying yourself?

Sorry to take so long to reply, I just sailed into cell phone range of
Ketchikan and got a connection. Yeah, I spend all my time moored to an
old engine block. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahah

The only enjoyment you get out of your silly
vessel is satisfaction

A little jealousy of real sailors with real boats there Nil?


Real men such as those of us who live aboard
and cruise and voyage

Bwahahahahahahahaahahahahah Gimmme a break, harldy a man, certainly not
a sailor, and the only cruisng you do is on the net or riding your bike
past schoolyards hoping to score ...

Bwahahahahahahahaahahahah like I said before, a hazard to navigation
if you ever got loose of that mooring and a marine pollutant the rest of
the time.

Hazard to navigation, marine pollutant and now a confirmed idiot.

Geez, Nil, won't you ever quit climbing the moron ladder?

Rick

Wrap your ass in lead and run that up on a reef.

Rick

So you are trying to minimise damage to the reef? How kind of you.

Cheers MC

Ever do any mechanic work? Have you ever used a brass
hammer to say align a crankshaft that is pinned and
pressed together? The brass hammer head deforms
while the crankshaft counterweight does not. Very
small movement of the counterweights can be attained
instead of the large, uncontrolled movement that would
knock the crankshaft out of alignment on the opposite
side of the spectrum.

This control and the fact the brass hammer is used because
it is soft and does not damage the structure of the crankshaft
as a steel hammer would is analogous to the forces applied
on the hull of a boat if its keel hits an unmovable object.

The same principle applies to a lead keel. The
mass of lead, of course, is the primary consideration
but the softness of the lead to cushion a blow is another
consideration and makes lead a superior material to
cast iron in addition the lead's extra mass.

It is hard for me to believe you've been in the yachting
field very long or done much reading to speak of without
knowing this very obvious and widely known fact.

It's heavier but is it soft enough to cushion possible
impacts with the sea bottom? Since it is used to pierce
armor I've got a feeling it is pretty stout stuff.

S.Simon

Cushion?
WTF are you talking about?


You know, when a sailor runs into a rock or other
hard object on the bottom - maybe a coral head
it is said that lead, being soft, will cushion the
blow by deforming and absorbing some of the
force thus sparing the structure of the yacht.

S.Simon


Bwaaahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa!
Cappy that rates among the most idiotic things that you've ever
written!!


It did not originate with me but I can see the logic of it.

Your reaction, on the other hand, is illogical.

S.Simon


Cappy could you fill me in on how much cushioning I could expect from
say a 4 ton lump of solid lead and how it would achieve that
cushioning?
