place a pen on its tip as accurately as you can. Math, describing pen's fall is quite easy - linear diff eq of 2-nd degree. Solution is clear too - exponent (exponential growth of initial angle of deviation from vertical).

So, what direction will it fall if you put it EXAXTLY vertical?

- Vertical = parallel to g (local accel of gravity). - alexander - December 3, 2001 - 19:03 UTC
  - Yes, it occurred to me also. Your question was similarly silly - carefuluniverse - December 4, 2001 - 02:02 UTC
    - No, it is one way:either you KNOW or you DON'T. - alexander - December 4, 2001 - 20:25 UTC
