the chalk dust is getting to me, and my head swims:
Happy Thanksgiving all!
lol@statics problems.
You did it the long way!
E = MC squared with a W thrown in there somewhere.
Not sure now that the speed of light isn't a barrier.
Eat turkey and think about it.
Your problem is that 0.047. Of course we all know it should be 0.04.
Oh, the memories that brings back. Hours and hours of determining unknowns. Class after class for eight years (high school and university). Statics was entertaining. Dynamics was insanity with the instructor drawing on the board what he called "Chinese pictograms". Toss in fluid mechanics, soil mechanics, thermodynamics, electronic circuit analysis, instruments and controls, heat transfer and many more. You reach the point where you see an equation that runs half way across the board at the front of the classroom and you instantly see ways to simplify it down to something manageable, almost simple. Scary! Your mind has muscles like Mr. Universe, but, they're only good for one thing. Meanwhile you struggle with remembering which way to turn the lug nut on your Dodge car.
Happy T Day to you also, AND make sure you plug in your combined scale factor , AND your US Survey foot fritzlevery before you publish your answer!!!!

Yo no necesito ningún factor de escala maloliente, o en los pies ... y sólo la usamos metros y UTM aquí, tan limpio y simple.
Feliz Día de Gracias a todos :good:

Bill beat me to it. The answer is obviously 0.04'

Ah yes--the metric system.
I thought we were going to the metric system, in fact about 20 years ago or so I remember staking out a set of highway plans that were in metric. The contractor was very upset to get the cut sheet, in fact he paid us extra to convert it to feet & tenths of feet.
The answer is almost always 4.
Please allow me to say that the diagram reveals a geometrically unstable structure at C if I can remember my Mechanics of Materials course in college. This is a strain compatibility topic between the two structural links.
1 + 1 = 3
