Which high voltage is more dangerous: AC, or DC, and why?
I wish I had a plot of voltage on the X-axis and danger level on the Y-axis for AC and DC. I was talking to an engineer at work, he was telling me that DC is more dangerous at high voltage. I said I disagreed with him but did not do into detail as to why I thought so. I did say that I've...- On Radioactive Waves

Undergrad Understanding Method of Sections: Why is Fy=2T2 - 981? | WikiBooks
Okay, so I am trying to understand the method of sections so I can finish my homework. I look at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Statics/Method_of_Sections" and for the life of me, I can't understand why at the bottom of the page it says Fy=0=2T2 - 981 . Where does the factor of 2 come...- On Radioactive Waves

Graduate Mathematics of this optical illusion
okay so the people who swap have a similar slice missing? Yes, I failed to see what this has to do with math also. Hence my question. What it does have to do with math, I was having a difficult time comprehending. So I wanted to get a quantitative analysis as to what was actuaclly...- On Radioactive Waves

Graduate Mathematics of this optical illusion
I figured out what happened on the first post... when I made it a hyper link, I thought I had screwed because the url was there twice. It was actually there for the hyperlink text. So I still had the hyperlink there (as I found out when I edited my post) , but there was no hyperlink text so...- On Radioactive Waves
