vintage projectile 50×50 tv – $75
i have a floor model wooden back tv .its 50×50 and its a projectile tv ,if interested i can text pics
Physics GRE Question #34:
A television set is 50 x 50. It is used as a projectile in a trebuchet. If it is launched at an angle of 25 degrees relative to the horizontal at a velocity of 15 meters per second,
a. How far does it travel?
b. What is the maximum height it achieves?
Bonus questions:
a. What units would be most appropriate for the “50”s, given that this television is apparently two dimensional?
b. Assuming the television is actually cubical, calculate the moment of inertia tensor about one corner of the set.
c. Assume a spherical television set centered at the origin. What color is the white bear?
Thanks for the post, Ralph!
No thanks, Sparky. I’ve cleaned up enough projectile in the last mumble-mumble years to last me a lifetime.
1. Pantone 15:240:05
2. Halibut sausage
3. ????
4. Profit
David Attenborough voice over: “Ah, here we can see the vintage projectile television in its natural habitat – the garage. This particular creature has long been the favorite viewing device on which to view the Exorcist for its fabulous realism during the vomit scene.”
“This particular beast has an unique defense mechanism – if you try to sneak up on it from the side, it’s picture will disappear, causing confusion and disorientation in the predator. This allows an opening for the beast to attack by spewing copious amounts of senseless drivel that will numb even the most astute observer into a mindless ninny.”
The best part about a projectile TV is that you can bust out the screen and stuff a bunch of cherry bombs in there for added effect on impact.
Here’s your drama show, motherfuckers!
It has certain attachments to make the special effects even more special.
Chain two together, and you can get back-to-back action!
No no, it’s fine, I’m perfectly able to drag my own self out and brutalize my face for the bad pun, don’t get up.
c. I know this one! The white bear is green because it has hollow hair follicles and algae grows in side them.
I only guessed at the other answers. It’s also very rude of Sparky to say he will only text pictures if our inquiries interest him.
He’s a Sparky of fine tastes, clearly.
“Fine”, of course, as in “too drunk to notice he’s drinking piss water, and thinks it’s merlot.”
On this blustery, spring-like day I’m feeling a bit ennui-ish….don’t bother texting pictures….I’m just not that interested….besides…aren’t texted pictures just a verbal description? Oh well, who cares???
34a) It depends on air density, wind speed and direction, and possible interference from African Sparrows and silly English kniggggts.
34b) 50.
Bonus a) Caliber.
Bonus b) Not solvable without knowing 1)the mass and 2) What’s our vector, Victor?
Bonus c) Black.
FYI: Projectile TV’s can be fun.
Oh wow, what can I say? There are so many questions about this and I haven’t the foggiest what the answers could be.
The units of measurement dan asks about is important so we can figure out what size barrel it’s supposed to be projected from. Just for arguments sake, just because it is a projectile, the units are mm (millimeters).
Okay, so how do we bore a square hole for the barrel?
Since it is a TV and a projectile, we might assume it is to be watched as it is flying through the air.
Do the couch potatoes watching also need to be flying through the air as well?
Do we need to make a huge potato gun?
How long will it stay in the air? Will you even be able to watch a commercial all the way through?
I suppose if Twilight is on, we probably don’t want that much time watching. And the sudden stop against the wall or hillside might be nice to ease the pain.
Perhaps the TV and the Couch potatoes can be launched with a tandem catapult? Would that work? Is a catapult accurate enough to land you somewhere soft? Every time?
You know, if the units are inches or bigger, That would be one big-ass barrel.
The potato gun? Well that would be one big ass-barrel.
Hmmm, “text picture”?
Is that iconic, as in cat = >^..^< ?
Or, bitwise, as in using zeros & ones to render the Mona Lisa?
Could it actually be that photographs might be attached to text responses?
I certainly do not know, and attempting to brain like sparkii causes me to want to engage in emesis vomitarus (but, the awful traffic on 183 this morning may be contributing to that discomfiture).
Samuel L. Jackson: “I’ve had it with these muffinlovin snakes on this muffinlovin plane! And the damn TVs flying by every minute… That’s it!”
*shoots out window, starts blasting TVs out of the sky, occasionally pausing to reload or toss a snake out*
This is the coolest thing ever offered on Craigslist! The 50 foot by 50 foot 2-dimensional projectile TV in which Superman imprisoned Zod and his backup singers and sent them hurtling into space!
Really? Superman II gets no love from this crowd? General Zod? That Lurch-looking guy? The dark haired chick? Theyre the bad guys and Superman traps them in this flat square and sends them hurtling into space? Just me, then? OK.
“Vintage Projectile” is a Grapes of Wrath cover band!
In the wake of public outcry about drone strikes, the US declares its intention instead to bombard Al Qaida bases with Duck Dynasty and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
[Synchronicity is peculiar aside]
Yesterday saw the release of several “holiday” music compilations [eyeroll; not even Hallo’een yet].
Among those was [drumroll] Duck The Halls, just in case you needed to hear Si’ croon along with actual, talented, professional musicians.
There is alleged a DVD for this, which ought start televisions sets to engage in projectile behaviour shortly thereafter.

How long is a piece of string? What number is spaghetti?
How long is a piece of string?…”Yellow”…(according to one of my students)
Only two measurements are give because the TV is a column. 50mm in diameter and 50mm high.

O__)
Like a bullet which is also a column and a projectile.
* if you bring that top line down to the top of the parenthesis it will look like a column (on its side.)
[matt] Oh sure, make us do the work of engaging our imaginations to move the damn line!! I am SO tired of getting homework!!! [/matt]
LOL!
If I knew how to move it to the correct position I would have. Sorry for the imaginary homework.
camille and C””J, your imaginary homework is to take this: Punchity Punch Punch!
Good Morning, Projectionists!
“Baby got wooden back TV”???….Yeah, I’d be interested in pics….
