Hi Mark,

>> If you add mass to the hammer, keep same force on key (yes, Don, it's =
a torque when you multiply it by the key radius), then the action will =
accelerate less.  That means less energy in the key and wippen (we =
didn't change their inertias).  So if we have the same total energy, =
less in the key and wippen, then MORE must have gone into the key, not =
the same amount. =20

Yes, you're right.  I totally misread what you had written.  I agree.  A =
distillation of this concept is that the energy distribution between =
components is proportional to their inertial contribution.

Peace,
Sarah
