Re: your favorite equations for build seasion

One I thought about when I was a Junior in high school
F=ma, right?
Work = Fd, agreed?
So,
work is mad

(This is one of those times I wish the "therefore symbol" was on the keyboard - you know, the three dots that form a triangle.)

While programming a crab drive back in 2009, the arctangent function was my friend. Then sin and cos became my friends too. Sooo much math in 4-wheel independent steer independent drive crab drives.

Re: your favorite equations for build seasion

How can you go a day through life without using these babies:
-PV=nRT
-sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, cot
-F=ma
-W=FD
-t=Fr
-P=W/T
-All unit conversions (although annoying. All for the metric system say "I")

W=Fd
its force x distance, he had it right. the full equation is technically F(D)cos(theta)

Re: your favorite equations for build seasion

...which is right next to the "compile faster" button...

T = ((et)^5) + 7s

Give up? Hint. et is estimated time, T is actual time. s is the number of times you say it'll be easy.

So if I say it will take half a minute, then it will actually take one thirty-second of a minute, assuming I don't say it will be easy at all?
