Stiffness comes in many flavors. "Axial stiffness" AE/L or "Bending Stiffness" E I / L , Torsional or Twisting J G/ L ... The list goes on... By definition (as related to the solution of most problems) the stiffness is the amount of force it takes to deflect something (usually a solid)...

Mass, m, with initial temperature, Tmi, is flowing along the z axis. The mass enters a right circular cylinder at the plane x=0. The cylinder is centered and oriented on the z axis (which is to the right). The cylinder's length is h and radius is r. The outside temperature of the cylinder is...

I'll add that certain springs are made from a specific steel as well. Not representing myself as metallurgist I have had a number of occasions to actually specify the use of "spring steel" General info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_steel

Looks good to me.

Never asked for fairness or implied it. In countless mathematical proofs we assume the truth of something false. We work through the proof and at the end demonstrate a conflict. I perceive no difference. Thank you for your time as well...

Thanks for this reply. I missed it earlier... I've been trying to understand the extreme emotional response from even the mention of ID or Creationism... It seems "I've been poking at the thorn in the Lions foot" so to say, which I reget. On the other hand, I've enjoyed the debate, (less, of...

Not making the claim to teach ID as science. The Royal Society is claiming that it is useful in a science class setting to compare them. Not my words, I'm not the one that submitted the evidence. I'm not sure why that sparks such a great emotional response? In science and math we use...

This discussion has been whether or not ID should be taught in science class. Clearly, the Royal Society has said "yes it is reasonable" to teach ID in science classes. The question of whether or ID is science or not is a whole another issue. The Royal Society is suggesting that ID is a...

[PLAIN]="http://royalsociety.org/news.asp?year=&id=4298"][/URL] Before moving onto the flat Earth discussion, the link above was submitted as evidence that ID should not be taught in science class. Clearly, the evidence shows that Creationism being taught in a science class is reasonable as...

That's what I was taught in science class.

Are you trying to suggest that the Earth was flat was never taught ... come on...

This was in the Royal Society link in earlier post. So I suppose Creationism should be taught in science classes: "Creationism may also be taught in some science classes to demonstrate the difference between theories, such as evolution, that are based on scientific evidence, and beliefs, such...

All knowledge is worthy of understanding and worth to be taught as long as the knowledge is good, right and true. For years and years science classes taught the Earth was flat because the visually obtained evidence indicated so, ultimately, as new information became available, science classes...

Conclusion implied by the data presented in the post and "missiles" shot from someone else's post. However, my humblest apologies to all, and more specifically, anyone for any misinterpretation of the intent of my post. It it the purpose of study to gain knowledge. While science is nice, it...

It would seem, the United States government disagrees with you. It seems the courts are still sorting the issue out. That’s exactly what I posted? It would never be my intent to insult anyone personally or professionally. If it makes no sense how does it become an insult anyway? I...
