We liked that photo so much that we put it in University Physics (on page
8 of the latest editions). Its photo credit is "ND-Viollet/Roger
Viollet/Laisono Agency, Inc.

Aaron: Although the mule picture is great I still like the picture of a
locomotive that didn't stop in time and is seen resting at an angle

a wall that it just crashed through. This is not as appropriate as the
mule
for equilibrium, but it is comparable to the ladder resting against a wall
problem. The picture is on the cover of John R. Taylor's 'An Introduction
to Error Analysis', 1982, University Science Books, Mill Valley, CA. I'm
not sure about copyright, but for individual use can't this be scanned and
simply e-mailed to anyone interested?
