comment In terms of the Doppler effect, what happens when the source is moving faster than the wave?
From the supersonic image it seems that an observer standing just below the line of motion would first hear the most recent sound waves and after that the less recent waves. Does that mean he would hear the sound in reverse?

comment Effective angle of attack of a wing
In my question I assume a yaw angle of 0. My point is that when you have a wing with dihedral and you pitch it up, the angle of attack on the wing is different than it would be without dihedral.

comment Metronome synchronisation applied to swings
@annav Thanks for the links, but these motions are not really coupled in the same way as the metronomes are. Is that a big difference?

I've added a calculation for the force in the three lower beams.

comment Necessary air pressure in flexible vessel to lift a certain mass
This answer is only partially right. @FrankH makes a valid point by involving the surface tension in this. That, the shear stress in the wall of the bag and the boiler equations are somehow involved, I think...

comment Necessary air pressure in flexible vessel to lift a certain mass
OK, thanks for the answer. I'm still curious about the part with the bag size. Would you know an analytic relation between bag volume and pressure? Say I have a bag with 10L volume, how much air should I put in it to achieve the necessary pressure?

comment Necessary air pressure in flexible vessel to lift a certain mass
This is indeed not a homework problem, but for a DIY project. Do you mean that I should add the homework tag nonetheless? I was not aware of the availability of TeX, I will update the formula asap.
