Whilst working on an aircraft a spanner placed on the wing surface is kicked off and subsequently falls into an open engine cowl, breaking off a sensor connector. This is an example of
- a team error.
- Murphy's law.
- a rule lapse.
Explanation
Murphy's law states that if something can go wrong it will, capturing exactly this kind of chance chain in which a loose spanner on the wing finds its way into the cowl and damages a connector. The example illustrates why tools should not be left on surfaces from which they can fall, since the worst plausible outcome tends to occur.
madhu_ame asking:
I think it is skill based error

Hey Madhu!
Partially you right but skill based errors are errors associated with intrinsic variability of force, space or time coordination. Murphy's law is more correct answer. If spanner can fall and break something, it will. :)

this is an example of gravity at will!
But if you're in a Vomit Comet type A/C, on a parabolic arc, and you start to levitate,are you weightless,or are you just free falling?
Ans: Any object that orbits another object... be it earth, moon, Mars, is affected by its gravity,and is pulled toward it. You will be in a constant free-fall till your orbit decays and gravity overcomes your gravity and pulls on you.
