Should be =(C4*(C5/C6))*((C7*(C8*C8))/2) I hate it when that happens :)

Hello, I am working on making an Excel work book to aid in figuring out pressure drops in a system. I am trying to use the Darcy Weisbach equation for pressure loss. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/darcy-weisbach-equation-d_646.html" In Excel I have =(C4*(C5/C6))*((C7+(SQRT(C8)))/2)...

The "three arc circle" code posted above is actualy APT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APT_%28programming_language%29" I wrote a translator in VB to convert APT code to G code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code. The problem I was having with the arc direction was that in G code the...

Thank you for the reply's. Some times thinking your incorrect and actually being correct is just as bad as thinking your correct and being incorrect. Although I guess it saves on finding out later on.

Since not one sole answered this ugly question. And after asking a thirty year mechanical engineer veteran and also a 4 year degree physics major. This is how I solved it on my own. Once plotted out on a graph it is a lot more obvious. Just calculate the angle from the Direction Vector to the...

I am working on a project of my own and need a little help. I am writing a program in Visual Basic that involves some precise calculations of Acceleration. I have looked over quite a bit of information and examples on the web and I am more confused now than when I started. I am sure you all have...

I am trying to translate a file from one format to another. The file I am trying to read from gives me the coordinates of arcs like this. A three arc circle going clockwise: GOTO / 0.80353, -0.60825, 0.75000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000 INDIRV/ -0.86603, 0.50000, 0.00000...
