    Solving the Tight Fitting Annulus Problem at Work

    i guess this is one of those questions you have to be really careful in how you word it.:smile:

    Air flow in pipe, diameter change, affect performance?

    general rule of thumb: 1)the more volume in your intake track the the more sluggish the throttle response for sudden opening of the throttle but the better the top end 2)the intake track is only as strong as its bottle neck, generally speaking. so a 4ft long intake tube that's half 2.5in...

    Is Engineering the Right Fit for a Math and Science Enthusiast?

    my trig teacher(also the calc teacher) in high school originally went for a degree in civil engineering, 75% of the way through she changed her major to pure math. she was a great teacher and extremely bright. my guess is she was in engineering for the money but my god civil seems so boring to...

    Understanding 2D Views of a Line in Engineering Class

    lol, i actually googled that. i only asked because i don't know how profile, horizontal, and front relate to each other.

    Understanding 2D Views of a Line in Engineering Class

    are each three of the views on different planes that are perpendicular to each other, for example: top, front, side? if they are then find lengths of the lines in each view. say L1,L2, and L3 to find the true length the formula is: sqrt[(L1^2)+(L2^2)+(L3^2)] this is the 3D formulation of...

    Is Engineering the Right Fit for a Math and Science Enthusiast?

    you suggest computational physics. isn't physics in its different forms still pretty rigorous in visualization? and to the OP perhaps it will become more clear come senior year. i didnt know until my freshman year in college. your mind will change a lot even over the next two years.

    I'm 31 and I think I want to study physics

    one question though, do you plan to make money using a physics degree? i get the impression that its rather problematic. it seems A. you become a teacher or B. you get a graduate degree and you have contract experimental jobs as you can get them and someone correct me if I am wrong but as far as...

    I'm 31 and I think I want to study physics

    of course its not overblown. its a universal truth that if one has a desire, whatever that may be, it gives a sense of purpose. the real question is what dictates a particular desire? my hypothesis is that desire is the great ushering hand of destiny.

    I'm 31 and I think I want to study physics

    it seems as if the bottom line is no matter how old you are, you could be 18 or 81, if you don't at least try now you will be asking yourself "what if...". and if you try and fail then at least you will know you have one less regret to take with you to the grave. you've got nothing to lose but...

    Whats the formula for variance between batches?

    keep in mind I am not studying to be a civil but mech engineer so this is the best i can come up with. heres a link to a digital book that discusses batch variations...

    I'm 31 and I think I want to study physics

    well working on a chicken farm will give you a lot of time to yourself to think about the sciences and mathematics i imagine. why Newton thought deeply about gravity and its existence by simple pondering under an apple tree or as the story goes. first you need to focus on getting a ged or some...

    How Accurate Is a Typical Wooden Meter Stick and Protractor?

    i think you looking at it wrong, your thinking of the error in absolute terms. because you think 8cm is alot, don't forget that its all relative. think in relative terms as in the 5%. is that alot? in my opinion no. not considering that those kids are on their hands and knees taking measurements...
