Your physics photos?



This train wreck is a neat picture/poster. Which begs the question, do you
have any interesting posters in your department or classroom? I have cool
enlarged photo of an F-14 and F/A-18 breaking the sound barrier. It has a
visible shock cone.
It is available from a company called Mach One. They are not on the
internet. Their company address is
Mach One
P.O. Box 7360 * Chico, CA 95927 USA
Tel: (916) 893-4000 * Fax: (916) 893-9737
Ask for a catalog.

PS I am not affiliated with this company -they just have cool, large,
pictures.

If anyone is wondering what picture is being discussed, I have it posted for

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.

Our department liked it so much we have large a framed poster of it posted
in our physics department.

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
against
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?
