It's a Real Force, this Centrifugal Thing.

How did you get that .. is an e-book of Physics of Golf available???

I wonder how many revisions were made between the 1993 and 1999 editions by Jorgensen.

WHOA !!!! My Physics of Golf is a 1993 edition and stops at Section 8 and page 155 !!!!!

Can you provide us with a brief precis of Chapter 9 ... thanks.

That's from the 2nd edition from 1999. Section 9 is a Technical Appendix where he talks about Newtonian Dynamics in a very, very, anemic version of what a college student would study in first semester University Physics.

I agree .. and I take issue with scientist Jorgensen's application of the Third Law to the whirling spool and thread analogy ... they are a single body, and the Third Law defines impulse between two independent bodies. He confuses "centrifugal" with stress.

Oh .. and I've got a humongous library of golf books too ... mostly useless .. :D

Yeah most books are useless:rolleyes:. Had to dust off an old textbook and maybe "Reactive Centrifugal Force" is a better.

think it was asked before, but what are the vectors of centripetal and centrifugal forces? think it was asked before, but what are the vectors of centripetal and centrifugal forces?

To me, this is the decisive question. Will Mandrin respond?

Ok, lets take our ice skater spinning in the rink.

What if we were to instead say the rink was spinning around her? Is it any less valid a statement?

If we were to theoretically spin the ice rink around her, would her arms be pulled away from her?

Centrifugal force doesn't exist.... neither does "Absolute space". :D
