This question is for the physics gurus, or just anyone who understand general physics better than I.
Here is a link to the diagram I will be refering to

The 50 lbs to compress bit is very flexible, basically im looking for a range between 25-50lbs, no more than or less than that range however. This is a project I am having to delay because of not having the correct spring - and I know one exists! I just dont feel like quessing and checking without having a starting point.

physical limitations for the spring:
-Must fit in the 1" chamber, preferably a sixteenth or so smaller for squirm room.
-must fit around a 7/16" rod
-Compressed length must be around 1"
-Extended length can be w/e is neccesary to meet the requirements.

Sorry for the detailed post, as you can tell I pretty much know what i'm doing, just havent made it all the way through general physics yet and my mechanical skills are ahead of my physics skills

Quite frequently (at least every day) I get this sharp pain in my left breast. It's not a surface pain, it feels much deeper than the skin level, but not deep enough to be in my chest cavity. If I take a deep breath or move my arm or lean forward the pain gets worse. There really is nothing that makes it stop except for waiting it out, typically a few minutes. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas as to what it may be? I'm really worried over here!

I have a Laptop with a built-in Wi-Fi switch, which i use to connect to internet from hotspots. I want to connect my Laptop to my PC, so i can share files and play games on LAN. What should i buy to plug into my PC, to achieve this?

Would such a gadget (if there is any) make it possible to also share my wired ADSL connection, which at the moment is connected to my PC?

Thanks in advance..!

Ty Warren is fined $7,500.00 for forgetting to fasten his chin strap, now Brady is fined for the same thing. How can the NFL do this yet overlook all the drugs, and crimes comitted by players and staff members?

do you feel the time out generation is a softer more spoiled child, compaired to a good swat on the butt generation?

do you feel that parents try to be too cool with their kids instead of knowing the right balance of friend and parent?

does it seem to you that more kids run the family then the parents do now adays?

how will or do you raise your kid?

Pretty much everywhere you look, from right after the hurricane until now, volunteer church groups are in 100 degree heat and 100% humidity, replacing roofs, rebuilding houses, clothing, feeding, paying for utilities and appliances and just generally meeting the needs of those in dire straits. They supply the money, materials and manpower for the work. They live in tents and campers, use family vacations ...
There really aren't any non church groups noticably active.
Can anyone tell me of some non church groups or individuals active in this or other such American disasters?
Please be specific.

My (usually long haired) cat went missing a week and a half ago. We only had him a couple of weeks and he got out (and we think he got lost). He is two years old and a rescue cat. We never heard anything until we posted leaflets to all our neighbours and now he has turned back up. However, whoever took him has decided to give him a hair cut for some stupid reason and now he seems scared because of it?! I know it's a stupid question but will his hair/fur grow back and how long is it best to keep a new cat in order for them to get used to their new home? (sorry about the waffle) any help/advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
