Does a prop turning at 2300 rpm on a 150hp motor produce more thrust than a

To paraphrase the question...

If I put 150 lbs of crap in a 100 lb bag, and 150 lbs of crap in a 150
lb bag, which bag is holding more crap?



OOooooooo..... *SO* close, and yet just off. I think you meant to say:
"If I put 100 lbs of crap in a 100 lb bag, and 100 lbs of crap in a 150 lb bag,
which bag holds more crap?"


My language was carefully chosen with the utmost attention to detail. To
paraphrase Humpty-Dumpty...

"When I use a phrase," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone,
"it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

"The question is, " said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many
different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty. "which is to be master—that's all."
