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.)

Re: your favorite equations for build seasion

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")

My favorite, and most used would have to be F=ma, hands down.

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

Most Used: (Machine Shop Algebra for finding the coordinates for paired symmetrical holes on material. With d1 being the material length, d2 being the hole pattern, and x being the distance from the hole center to the edge of the material)
x = (d1/2)-(d2/2) = (d1-d2)/2

Most Reliable: Newton's Second Law

Least Favorite: Murphys Law

Re: your favorite equations for build seasion

Can't believe no has said this yet:

V = IR

(I^2)R = VI = P

Or, to have some fun:

Fs >= 2B (any takers? it's not an exact formula, more of a theorem, and kind of hard to represent without proper math symbols)
