think i got it (the new one..) if im working it out right its way easy.
to be fair im probably not though, however i cant give a clue that wouldnt give away the answer, good luck and remember its all in the length of the beam and the elasticity point..

:o Wow, I habn't even taken Physics yet, I'm only in grade 9. Well I don't get this one. I really need that avatar. Anywho, I'm just gonning to take a randomg guess.

Eeek! I guess I should have paid more attention in math class!

[off topic]plducala16, did you spell leetlemen like lettlemen on purpose? Just wondering if it was on purpose or a typo? I love seeing the lettlemen everywhere![/off topic]

Good Luck everyone!

oh my i have no idea :o

Well, physics doesn't help ... since the units on things aren't even right.

A moment of inertia is measured in (mass)*(length)^2. They give units as (length)^4.

The correct answer will just end up being a lucky stroke of luck.

That's mass moment of inertia. They're talking about area moment of inertia. I didn't know that either up until five minutes ago. With Google, you should be able to easily solve this LC. :)

haha if i knew what to look up on google i'd look :P lol stupid me has been trying to do it by hand :o think its back to school for me i dont do this type of maths in psychology degree

Ok, I have all of the formulas done, but my answer is a little odd.. can I verify it with someone who is SURE that they have it?

Fri Jan 07, 2005 1:09 am

wow this one is easy :D

Fri Jan 07, 2005 1:10 am

hint..clue..help on formula? :) ok i found a formula now im gonna plug the numbers in can i confirm with someone who knows it after to compare?

just google and find the right formula. If you wish to confirm, I will be available to do so. If you have AIm or something use that :P

Fri Jan 07, 2005 1:17 am

What is the "right formula"? :roll:

Fri Jan 07, 2005 1:18 am

Well... I can't exactly give it now can I?
That woulud be basically giving the answer ;)

Just google and good luck :P
