Mythbusters - helicopter?

[einstein57]

did anyone see the episode of darkwing duck where the bolted a mega rocket to a giant rock formation to stop the earths roatation. Totally plausible if you ask me.

So what if we take a Rock ship, three pigeons, and a rope ladder....

This record player, does it spin 33's or 45's? I want to make exact calculations...

[Mystikal]

What if the helicopter was on a record player, Would it take off?

You sir, are a God among men.

no doulble digits in the first character of scientific notation. The earth is supposed to maintain its distance from the sun with its balance of the suns gravitational pull and the centrifugal force created by the earths orbit correct? Theoretically it should be easier to tilt the earth's axis than to changes its orbit. So it would tilt 0.00000000012371567
3464 degrees every metric year.

thanks einstein

yeah, i posted some numbers backwards

[NC325iC]

if i pull up on a chair while sitting on it will i fly?

seriously you all failed physics didnt you

genious

The earth would move .2746" closer every 1.234 days. The helicopter would blow up due to the high amount of stress on the motor and carrying such a heavy weight, since the earth weighs 6 X 10^24 KGs.

Plain and simple, that's my final answer.

no way, even 10 x 2^-10" would be generous
