yes they are. the wire making an angle phi_1 is on the left side and the wire making an angle phi_2 is on the right side.

my fulcrum is x_cm, or the center of mass of the block from the left side.

We have a block of un-uniform density of mass m suspended by two massless wires, against gravity. The left wire makes an angle phi_1while the right angle makes an angle phi_2. The block has length L. They want me to find the center of mass. THis is what I've done: We have tension in the wires...

Oh man I'm running into problems with working and school. I work a workstudy, 16 hours a week, and it requires real work, with real people depending on what I do. While it's nice to have a job you matter, it's destroying my homework time. Everyday I go home and think to myself, dang, I could've...

Saldy, however true, a lack of a degree indicates a lack of the ability to put up with menial instructions and other types of hardships. Since life isn't all glory, people want to hire people that can do the boring stuff as well. Even if you were brialliant beyond imagination, you would...

Just strive for both and it'll all fall in place. Why cut yourself short in one aspect?

"If she is paying with a credit card, she will get caught VERY fast. " So the book barcode is unique? And this info is attached to the purchase information? How could you get caught this way as opposed to paying in cash?

That's pretty ballsy poop loops :) I guess the barcode on the back isn't unique for each book?

Switched to EE. Only have to take two more courses and I also have a good start into the degree program (2.5 years left).

well i was told that it'd take a looong time to double major and i'd only be hired for one position related to a major. I might become a manager type and yes that would be useful but that's a long ways off. No one stuides engineering so they can fill their life long dream of being an manager :)

Well I met with my advisor. it doens't really make sense to major in ME and EE beause Id get hired to do one of those fields, not both. Also, the EE school is a bit better than the ME school (Kilpsch School of EE i guess). I'm meeting with the EE advisor next week and it looks like I'm well on...

Hmm, I'm getting somewhat conflicting answers. I think I'll bring this up with my so-called adviser on campus.

I'm finding, that once you get to your junior and senior year, the students get a bit better, so my current view is cloudy because a lot of people will drop out anyway. I have this view because i went through college before, with a previous degree. So state schools aren't bad once your get to...

Do any new job prospects open if you double major in EE and ME? And isn't that kind of like mechtronics? I'm a year and a half into ME (taking calc III next semester) and I'm thinking I should've been in EE all along ... but ME has it's interesting points. My passion is in robotics and...

Yes you can do it. You need to learn how to focus your mind upon the task at hand. After every problem, ask yourself what could have gone wrong, what silly mistakes could you have made which you'll regreat later? Find them, if any and correct them. I suggest doing twice or even three times the...
