Mike, You continue being confused simply because you insist on comparing the your polyprop line to a PVC line as if both were solid. In reality one is a braid and the other has air bubbles in it. The SGs of the lines are not 1.3 and .9 but probably more like .9 and .3. That goes a long way to expla...

This is a new thread, so I can post again. :D :glare: If you add or, actually, given the same volume, replace part of the material with lighter material, the average density of the composite is lower than the original constituent. This way one can alter the properties of a material (or actually a c...

Well yes I've seen it. But Mike's a good guy. You'd like him if you met. And that's the stuff that matters, right? I don't know for sure if that is addressed to me. Anyway, in my book the stuff that matters when having a debate is to respect your adversary. This guy has been insulting me (and other...

Hey Aitor, you seem to know a lot about this subject! (I'm not going to read all 22 pages tonight, hopefully, but I understand the gist of it) Anyway how come you know this stuff? :???: Mike, I don't understand your problem. Personally I like having you around here and think you have much to offer,...

Torsten's dilemma Post number 122 - Hey, stupid! Do you remember the name of that German that is always hiding my things? - Alzheimer, Mike, Alzheimer. You all have a similar dilemma, you have made yourselves look extremely foolish, all the while claiming to be experts, physicists, engineers, and w...

The FIRST 30 feet (not the belly) of a #10 line should be between 270 and 290 grains, that is between 17,5 and 18,8 grams. That's what the AFTMA says. Perhaps they are wrong too, so they are stupids, idiots an retards. I have given you the ACTUAL WEIGHT of 30 feet of PVC floating line with a diamet...

There was never any question of having two spheres of the same MASS, but two spheres of the same VOLUME. one is made from solid Polypropylene - both have the same mass. Are these quotes both correct? (I've been fishing) Cheers, Paul The first quote, and I quote; QUOTE " There was never any que...

30 feet of 2mm polypropylene braid weighs 18 grams ( which roughly equates to an AFTM #10 )

30 feet of 1,75 mm PVC FLOATING BELLY weighs 45 grams

Which is off the AFTMA scale!

Just go and try it, and when you have done, come back and apologise for behaving like a idiot. MC Idiot, stupid, retard... It's enough for me. Bye, bye, son of a bitch. I´m not surprised, it would be enough for anybody! Assuming I am in indeed a son of a bitch, that does not alter the fact that I a...

I propose that a simpler mathematical solution be attempted where two cylinders of equal length and mass are compared. This is more like a fly line so may shed more light on the situation. One is pure polypro, the other is a combination of PVC and air. Now here is what's different from the balls ex...

I've read your statements - well you have some trouble with the relationship between mass - density - weight force etc. That get's mixed up. Bruce Richards is not wrong, I'm wondering why you having that idea - Noel Perkin's refers to the density as well and always is the average or bulk density in...

QUOTE The goal is 2 cylinders with equal mass, length, density (including air bubbles/pockets). Which cylinder has a thinner diameter. UNQUOTE The answer is neither! They are identical. In order to alter the volume of one of the cylinders, you must alter either the density, or the mass. Density is ...

Gents, No need to get all fired up about this. Maybe we need to better phrase the question as it seems everyone is shouting about semantics. I think this is what we are getting at, but I might be wrong. Polypro is lighter than PVC. Polypro is less dense than water and PVC is more dense than water. ...

.. to check your understanding of physics/mechanics. Well, to make it short: your answer was wrong. Grunde has already answered it: the dynamic behaviour of both balls or better spheres is equal. I've written a small calculus about that: Spheres physics (PDF) Hope all can read it, I was too lazy to...

So, you may play with your balls as much as you like, drill holes in them, pump them full of air, or drop them from a great height. I will merely continue casting my Polypropylene line on a long rod, because it is lighter than a PVC line, and far less painful than subjecting mine or other people´s ...
