I'm in the engineering 
The one related to structural.

thumps head i nearly found the right formula but its asking for distance so it cant be right

Darnit, I put the answers in feet, not in inches...

I'll say this much... I googled for the forumla and I got a completely rational answer. All the units worked out right, and it wasn't some crazy number either. Once you find the the right formula, it's pretty simple algebra. Helps if you know scientific notation (i.e. x * 10^7, etc) though, because the number get pretty because the numbers get pretty big.
Good luck everyone!

I.... don't think that's been covered in Physics B. >_<
Anyhow, I Googled the formula and found it, but I just have one question (which I think has already been asked in one form, but anyhow): do any of the units need to be converted? Since we have modulus of elasticity and moment of inertia in inches, length in feet, and even if I understood dimensional analysis, I have no idea what deflection is in.
Well, kudos to the writer for thinking this one up, anyhow. (It does seem like something of a snark at those complaining how easy previous ones have been)...now, I wonder if this counts as part of the 50 hours of physics I have to do over break.

that was a simple answer. kudos to scott.

i know this might be a stupid question but what formula??
Fri Jan 07, 2005 3:54 am
I got a really small answer. Can I check it with someone?

Hope im right im not sure if ive rounded how neo wants it oh ill kick myself if im off by . something lol

ScottNak ... for describing what "^" meant, I assume.

TY Xena and Gabrielle,
with the way clues fly abt on several different boards, I just didn't want to miss a blatant clue cuz I need a huge BONK on my head for this one!

Anyway, remember to change the feet into inches.
My ans is less than 10 with decimal place
