This problem is a combination of several problems I've posted in this
group. When I combine the problems, the answers given to me in
previous posts don't work. Here's the problem.

Another everyday experience problem with 300000 km long
rigid rods, I presume?

Please note: If you don't know the physics answer, please feel free
to put up a post that includes personal attacks of my intelligence and
education. That's the approach used by the vast majority of the
people on the planet when they can't logically explain something, so
why should you be different? Besides, your peers may join in giving
each of you mutual support.

Was I right?
