Some considerations on casting and rod loading.

A simple calculation for casting in air is;

Frt = Fi * Fa * Ff * Flt

Where Frt = the force on the rod tip in kg.m/s², Fi = inertia (mass)
in grams, Ff = the coefficient of fluid kinetic friction µk ( air
resistance), Fa = the acceleration of the line in ms², and Flt = line
tension in kg.m/s²



Now, I admittedly can't haul worth a ****, but I do know my physics
(maybe that's my problem.) I'm having a bit of difficulty reconciling
your theory above with that of Mr. Newton who opined a much simpler
equation, F=ma.

Hey, he's using Newtons! Can't you read, dumbo?

Yeah, but are they cookies or fruit and cake...?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, you're gonna report me to the Keebler
elves...,
