> [@newman](#): > > please see my post about the shear strength of a finish nail. I’m guessing it said the shear strength of a finish nail is \> 200 pounds? What if the trim carpenter was a hack and didn’t hit a stud? Or glued the trim to the drywall? Or it’s the new synthetic foam trim? Anyways, yeah I suppose if your doorway is built well then you wouldn’t have a problem. The horizontal trim only having a Y force applied is a good point. ---

^ you’re thinking that a large force is going to be applied to the trim in a pulling AWAY from the wall mentality… you will be putting a small amount of downward force on the trim SPREAD EVENLY across the plane of the trim. The trim is absolutely necessary to make it hold, also, even with the extensions (which were not a part of the argument) do not stick out far enough to generate force/friction on the vertical frame of the door/horizonal part of the wall, to hold up a persons body weight… without trim in place. I cant wait for geoff to be proven wrong… and half the engineers on this site. > **[Robot Check](https://www.amazon.com/Iron-Gym-Total-Upper-Workout/dp/B001EJMS6K)** those extensions do not stick out nearly enough… fools. ---

PAulo is getting cranky… now this 90mph to go a mile… are we talking a mile of vertical elevation? or a mile at a 45 Degree incline. is it just wheel speed, or is this mile going to start at 0mph and hit 90 mph when it goes 1 mile? ---

My logic was … 60 mph = 1 mile = 1 minute… 120 mph = 1 mile = 30 secs… 90 mph must be half… why not? lol. 45 secs… but its 80 mph to go 1 mile in 45 secs… I’m so bewildered… but paulo \> me there… Like i said, i concede. I’m the bigger man. ---

Um, yea. I just tried it. Definitely a no go. It starts to slide right away. > [@Willybeen](#): > > My logic was … 60 mph = 1 mile = 1 minute… > 120 mph = 1 mile = 30 secs… > > 90 mph must be half… why not? lol. 45 secs… > > but its 80 mph to go 1 mile in 45 secs… I’m so bewildered… but paulo \> me there… > > Like i said, i concede. I’m the bigger man. I almost asked why this is not true. But instead I decided to give it a shot: (sorry, I don’t know how to keep everything lined up) _90 miles_ X _1 hour_ 1 hour 60 minutes the ‘1 hour’ crosses off, leaving _90 miles_ = 60 minutes _3 miles_ X _2 minute_ = 2 minutes 120 seconds the 2 minutes cross off… _3 miles_ = I fail at showing work. It’s 1 mile in 40 seconds. 120 seconds ---
