A "Torque" is also known as a "Moment". I don't think
english is Matthias' first language, so we need to cut
him (and everyone else across the pond and south of
Florida) some slack...

Hi Matt,
You say << ...I thought the momentum created is
defined by force ( up or down) x
distance between where the force is applied and axis
of rotaion, which will be very close to the center of
gravity ( to be exact, to the meta-center in an
immersed body)... >>
I believe what you have just defined is called
"Torque" and not "Momentum."
Take care and dive safe, Scott
Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw
through the restraints and scramble up out of the pit.

Can you be more specific on this , Kevin ?
I thought the momentum created is defined by force (
up or down) x
distance between where the force is applied and axis
of rotaion, which
will be very close to the center of gravity ( to be
exact, to the
meta-center in an immersed body)
So the closer the up and down forces are to the diver
, the less
momentum they create ( SS backplates, single bottle
wings, no oversize
wings)
What did I not get right ?
Matthias
