The arrow rest is placed approx 6mm up away from the hand; it just gives clearance so that, when shot, the arrow does not come in contact with the hand (this is in reference to using a Traditional longbow); modern bows (meaning modern recurves) normally have a preset point. Exactly where the shelf/rest is placed is not really important, but where the "Nocking Point" on the bowstring is set in relationship to that is of extreme importance: 90 degrees across and then 6mm up for the bottom nocking point. This offset gives good arrow flight and helps with the "Archers Paradox" problem.
The 6mm up on the string is a starting point, and during bow tuning this may be raised or lowered by a few a millimetres depending on type of bow and the archer's personal grip on the string (3-finger Mediterranean release, 2-finger modified Mediterranean, "Ishi"-style, Asian thumb-ring, etc).
One of the things to consider in placing an arrow rest on any bow, no matter where it is placed, is that it must be positioned so that the tip of the arrow does not fall off the rest when the bowstring is drawn back. It also must be positioned so that a broadhead point, when installed on the arrow, does not contact it at all; the shaft of the arrow should be the only part of the arrow actually contacting the rest. See "The Archer's Reference" (linked below, "Related Links"), page 26, Section 2.4 "Rests".

The lowest point below the rest position of a wave?
The lowest point below the rest position of a wave is called the trough. The highest point above the rest position is called the crest.
What is the definition for an arrow?
There are to definitions but here is one: An arrow is something that points in a direction. It has a roof of a house on the top of it and the rest is a lign. Or however you spell it.

What is the front leaning rest position?
The front leaning rest position is a disciplinary position in the military. Basically, you stay at the apex of a push-up until you are told that you can get back up.
Why does your arrow kick up or down?
The arrow "kicks" up and/or down because the nock end hits the arrow rest (or arrow shelf, if the bow does not have a separate arrow rest) as the arrow leaves the bow. This usually occurs because the nocking point (where you place the arrow on the bowstring) is too high or too low, but it can be caused by the fletching either being out of alignment or simply too large for the type of rest being used. This problem may also be that your fall away rest is not dropping properly.Other reasons may be too light-weight of a point on the arrow, or the nock-end of the arrow is "dragging" on something during the release (fingers, etc).Bows do not act like firearms (guns) when used: There is no recoil to "kick" the bow or arrow up or down, nor is there any energy being expended to push the bow back towards the archer. The only real transfer of energy in a properly tuned bow/arrow setup is from bow to the arrow, by way of the bowstring. If the bow moves enough to affect arrow flight, it is generally because the person using the bow has moved their hand and/or arm.
When a magnet is freely suspended what suspended what position you will find the magnet in when it comes to rest?
When the magnet is free to rotate and its poles are in a horizontal plane, it comes to rest with its poles pointing roughly north and south.
