special relativity - The speed of light and the increase of relativistic mass



The speed of light theory predicts that as things travel faster their mass increases, so I think we if we look at a plane accelerating from mach one to mach two and measure the relativistic mass of the plane, we'll see an increase in relativistic mass regardless of how small. Is this true?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
