Re: [ATM] telescope vibrations
Mel, I would have thought that the reduction would have been 1/4 of the
force. Where am I wrong on this? The tube, being 1/2 the length, would
take 1/2 the wind load and that load would be working over 1/2 the distance.
Then again, that would be the simplistic view and it may be that you have to
figure the average loading which gets reduced as you go closer to the
mounting point.
