THanks for the response, unfortunately when i try to run it it pops up for a second and dissapears

This really didn't help me in the sense that I already have the code...I need to make it in a form where I can simply drag and drop the formula into the TI Connect Device Explorer...just like any other program. How do I convert this text on MS WORD to a "program" that the calculator can use?

My Thermodynamics teacher gave me a code for various calculators to put into the calculator for Interpolation. I am just wondering how you put this code that is in MS WORD onto my TI-89. I have the TI-Connect software. Here is what is looks like: This code is for the TI-89: interpol()...

Oh well..guess I will see what happens, I just will make sure not to post on here to bug you anymore

Well you aren't very helpful...Junior year is right around the corner and by Senior year you've made it that far...might as well buckle down and finish it off...

Thanks a lot for the encouragement guys it can be very helpful! I have a Calc 3 and Statics test this week so I am pretty stressed

What do you mean by your last sentence?

Yea I like how versatile the degree is, I have heard of students with Mechanical Engineering degrees even going to Law School! Not that I am interested in that, but it is nice to have a versatile degree. I would like to get some job experience and maybe get my masters in business while working...

Haha that is a good one...definitely would never do a liberal arts degree! I am very motivated for engineering, but I know when times get stressful in school I start to have some questions

That is the thing, I'm not sure there is anything else I would rather do, maybe construction management, seems like it would be a bit easier, but I know I will stick to engineering, just don't want some job that doesn't allow me to spend anytime with my family (when I have one). Certainly not...

I am currently a Sophomore in Mechanical Engineering. To give you guys some background, I have been involved with motor sports my whole life (I have raced motocross most of my life), so Engineering was right up my alley, and it has always interested me. I haven't had much trouble in Engineering...

Figured it out...and of course it was something stupid...I forgot to add the negatives to the numbers that needed it...I just figured I didn't need them since I was finding the magnitude anyways, but of course that affects the x and y resultant that you square

Well I tried again and I am running out of time..but here is my work: F1x: 400 F1y:693 F2x:424 F2y:424 F3x:600 F3y:250 Fx's:1424 Fy's:1367 (1424^2+1367^2)^(1/2) As far as how I found the x and y components I simply used the magnitude of the vector times cosine of the angle for x's and sine...

It looks like I have made some small mistakes, I am going to attempt it again this afternoon and hopefully it should work now.

No, I kinda gave up for now...as seen in my post I already split up the components into x and y, so not sure what else to do..its such a simple problem I am not sure why I am having trouble with it
