    As long as it is math questions, I can help out. If you get into Civil Eng questions, my eyes will cross.

    Brad you're just saying that so you won't get asked questions. :lol:

    The key to civil engineering is to always keep the sum of Forces to equal zero.

    When they don't, bad things happen. :lol:

    Simple right ?

    If you say so.

    I'm only half a semester into the Masters program. So, it's just a little early to start claiming it. :lol:

    Its a civil engineering joke. Cue the nerd meme again.


    Ya know like when you are building a bridge or a building. As long as you build it so that the forces that will be applied (cars, wind, snow, etc) still remain zero when loaded up then all is fine. When that bottom number doesn't equal zero you make the nighty news. Also know as equilibrium.


    This guy is your friend joe.

    You are going to need some serious time in the woods to clear your head after all that stuff!!!
    Keep up the good work.

    Brad,
    What type of Company do you work for? And what do you do/your role exactly?

    I don't think I have seen anyone mention this one yet... But your answer to #5 is missing the miles/ft conversion.

    Ok, a radian is just another way to measure an angle, or in this case a rotation. Each complete rotation is approximately 6.28 radians. For your conversion factor you are going to put 1 revolution in the top, and 6.283 RAD in the bottom. For the record, a radian is not actually a unit of measure because the way it is derived makes it a pure number. On 11 you have to remember the d=rt formula. If you drive 50 mph for 2 hours you are going to multiply, not divide, to find the distance. Then you convert to feet by using 5280 ft/ 1 mi for your conversion factor. Hope I'm not too late to be of help.

    And on 3, you should have 200 m/ 600 s. velocity is distance over time. Don't know if your prof wants 1/3 m/s, or .3 m/s. did he say anything about significant digits.

    Thank you tkaldahl!

    I knew number five didn't seem right LOL!
    Same with number three.

    For significant digits, he said take it to the nearest hundred, rounding it.

    I'm going to print out another worksheet and redo it so it's cleaner and neater. It's due tomorrow.
    I'm also going to print out past previous worksheets and work on them over the weekend so I can become proficient at conversions, and fully understand and grasp it.
