26. Constraints from R_head vs. R_bullet—SL6A

    This section investigates constraints on the solutions from Snap/Lurch 6A supplied by R_bullet and R_head. Although SL6A provides somewhat less constraining power than SL7A does, it provides ranges of answers that are more similar than different. This offers confidence that the constraints represent general features of the system.
    As with SL7A, this section presents the constraints separately for masses of the head that range from 5 lb to 10 lb, and the last part summarizes the constraints for these different conditions. As before, the constraints, particularly for the lurch, are essentially independent of the mass of the head. Most importantly, all the allowed speeds of the lurch are negative and close to the observed value of about -0.8 ft s^-1.

For m_head = 5 lb
For m_head = 6 lb
For m_head = 7 lb
For m_head = 8 lb
For m_head = 9 lb
For m_head = 10 lb
