Do umbrellas really keep you any drier than not having one at all?

Okay, I mean you have to get them out, then shake them off before getting into the car, and then alot of the time the rain is accompanied by a little wind., so you end up wet anyway. I quess I just don’t see the point. So please tell me if you get wetter with or without the umbrella in the rain.

Umbrellas are subject to many forces on a windy day. Please help me!?

Umbrellas are subject to many forces on a windy day. When you hold the umbrella upright, its curved surface is above you like a dome. When the wind blows horizontally, why does the umbrella feel lighter than normal?

Pls answer it in a complete sentence and it should be at least 2 to 4 sentences..

I’ll give a 10pts for every answer..

Umbrellas are subject to many forces on a windy day. If you hold your hand just beyond the edge ….?

Umbrellas are subject to many forces on a windy day. If you hold your hand just beyond the edge of the umbrella while it is still tipped into the wind, you will feel that the airspeed there is even higher than that of the wind. Could anyone explain this for me?

Why do we keep making new technology when Hats and Umbrellas have proven ineffective?

when it rains and there is wind, the umbrella does not cover you at all. Hats don’t cover sunlight if the sun is not directly above you. So i see people with hats and a strong sun light shining on their faces, their hats don’t even serve the purpose.

Why are umbrellas not allowed at Marlins games, but are allowed at other stadiums?

I live in South Florida and this issue has been bugging me since I moved here about eight years ago. It makes no sense to me that umbrellas are prohibited at Marlins games but allowed at other stadiums. I know for a fact that both New York teams (Mets, Yanks) allow them. The only reason I ever get as to why they’re prohibited at the Marlins stadium is because they can be used as weapons. Well there are a bunch of other things that can be used as weapons. I can throw my shoe, use my cigarette lighter, throw my beer, use a pen or pencil to stab someone, etc. I wouldn’t do any of those things, I’m just trying to make a point. Everyone knows that it can rain at any given moment in Florida. I hate getting wet from rain and not being allowed to bring an umbrella is one reason why I rarely go to Marlins games. I’m sure the umbrella ban is one reason why they have the worst attendance every year. I wouldn’t have a problem if this was a league-wide rule, but as I said, other teams allow it.

So does anyone have an explanation for this besides the weapon thing?

Thanks

I would like to purchase lights with umbrellas on a stand for my digicam. Any advice? And where to buy?

I use online auctions to sell art and also put it on a website. The flash always washes out the colors. Will the umbrella help me? Also what should I know and where is a good place to buy?
Thanks
