force and tube
The fibres create a seal that allows the pressure to force the dart through the tube.
The flow profile of laminar flow in a tube can be calculated by dividing the flow into thin cylindrical elements and applying the viscous force to them.

To ensure this rotation was complete and the latches were in the proper position, the DC-10 cargo hatch design included a separate locking mechanism that consisted of small locking pins that slid behind flanges on the lock torque tube ( which transferred the actuator force to the latch hooks through a linkage ).
The incident investigators discovered that the rod connecting the pins to the handle was weak enough that it could be bent with repeated operation and some force being applied, allowing the baggage handler to close the handle with his knee in spite of the pins interfering with the torque tube flanges.
This meant that the pins did not extend past the torque tube flanges, allowing the handle to be closed without excessive force ( estimated by investigators to be around 50 lbs ) despite the improperly engaged latches.
