i don't have a book, it is a 1 unit class. the only example we were given was a boat. the force of drag=5*velocity of the boat, the boat weighed 10 kg, the engine moved water at a rate of 33m/s. and it was solved for the net forces on the boat.
absolutely nothing. i am taking a class called the Arizona State Experience, it is a mandatory class with 20 mechanical engineering students and is taught completely by the TA. usually homework is to find a job for the major or find a research paper, never actual math until now. i am sorry i...
i believe the professor was trying to use this equation for a different example. in the other example it was a boat that had a drag of 1/5 the velocity of the boat. and you had to find out how fast it was going.
I am sorry for the wall of text but i need some help with a problem in one of my classes. i am still in my semester as an engineer and this problem was given in my college acclimation class (i know it is ridiculous).
One fundamental problem in manned space travel is that the enormous...
