sorry, my brain isn't working very well.

why is it 3 - 3?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm reading an article and it says "withstand temperatures or 30 C and G forces of 3 - 3".

[?] They mean 3 G's right?
 
Is the article online? Post a link if so.

I'm not sure what they mean either.
 
3 positive G Forces, or 3 negative G Forces.

As good a guess as any.

Love what you put under your name, btw.
 
thnx~ wonderful forum btw, helping me a lot in chemistry
