Bill pose la question : I have read many of your answers to similar questions but still need your assistance.
We have 16 golfers that will be playing in 4 groups of 4 each day on an upcoming golf vacation.
Can you suggest the best way to scheudle the individuals assigned to each daily foursome
so that we have the most diversity in foursomes throughout the vacation. I am trying to have evryone
play with as many members of the group over the week with the least amount of repetition.
If you would please provide it for both 6 and 7 days, since we are not sure yet how many days
we will be playing.

A flat-topped pyramid |
2009-01-10 |
|
Tom pose la question : I am planning to build an open ended, flat-topped pyramid with a
rectangular base 28 x 36 in.; a square top 6 x6 in.; and a vertical
height of 16 in.
I know how to calculate the dimensions of each of the pyramid sides but
I don't know how to calculate the interior angles when I bend the sheet
metal. I will cut the four sides separately and add a one inch flange
to each "vertical" edge of the two larger sides to allow for
a bonding surface for the assembly. How do I calculate that angle? I
know it will be greater than 90 degrees but by how much? Harley Weston lui répond. |

Parameterization of a curve |
2009-01-10 |
|
stephanie pose la question : Give parameterizations r(t)=x(t)i + y(t)j for the part of the parabola y=2x-x^2, from (2,0) to (0,0). Sketch the curve using arrows to show direction for increasing t.
Essentially, i want to know how to determine the direction a particle is moving in for any curve, i have a vague idea using r'(t). Also, how do i parameterize? x=? and y=?
Ans: x=2-t, y=2(2-t)-(2-t)^2 Harley Weston lui répond. |
