Rbwr Unit 2

[Theo Pontbriand]

When I calculate a UDL from a pressure load (kPa x m = kN/m) Mathcad defaults the answer in kg/s^2. I redefine the units as kN/m which is okay, but when the variable is recalled, Mathcad returns the units to kg/s^2, this makes using the explicit function ugly. Any help?

Mathcad enables you to work with units. That is, you have full control over the values and units associated with quantities that you input. And you can change, for each numeric evaluation, the unit used for displaying the result.

If you assign a variable e.g. MyMass:=5 lb, MatCad internally calculates the physical quantity over in its internal unit system, SI, so the value gets stored as 2.268 with the units of mass. If you define another mass e.g. YourMass:=5 kg, the same thing happens. the value is internally stored as 5 with the units of mass.

It might be nice if it were possible to define 'preferred units' for physical quantities, but then other problems pop up. Like how would MathCad determine to use use N*m ( for torque) or J (for energy) in the case where a result of 1 kg*m^2/s^2 is obtained?

As noted by others, Mathcad does not store the units with the variable. It stores the value in SI units, and the dimensions. The default display when the variable is evaluated is therefore the SI value with the SI units.

FORT BRAGG, N.C., Oct. 20, 2011 -- Smoke hazed in the air as the Soldiers began to push their assault boats into the water as bullets were already flying past their heads. In the not so far distance, they could hear the loud echoes of machine guns going off.

On the first trip, several Soldiers paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. The next two weren't as bad as the Soldiers made their assault upon the enemy. By the fourth and fifth trip, almost all enemy fire had been subdued.

Howard Burks was there back in 1944 when the real crossing of the Waal River happened, and he was also at the annual competition hosted by the 307th Engineer Battalion with teams also competing from the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division at Kiest Lake on the Fort Bragg training grounds Oct. 19.

"Having an actual member who crossed the Waal River back in World War II is a real morale booster," said Spc. Jeremy Durstine, a heavy equipment operator for the winning team from 738th Engineer Support Company, 307th En. Bn. "He sat there and relived his memories while we made our very own."

During the competition, teams mirrored the historic day's actual events by having eleven Soldiers paddling the boat, one Soldier guarding and three Soldiers being transported to the other side as if they were making a real assault, Durstine explained.

"This is a commemorative event for the crossing of the Waal River during Operation Market Garden where the 307th Engineers successfully ushered across the infantry men of the 82nd Airborne Division five times," said 1st Lt. James Cunningham, the 1st platoon leader for 738th ESC, 307th En. Bn. "This unit is deep in heritage and the Waal River crossing is probably the largest event in history of the unit."

"A lot of people just showed up to have fun, and then got disappointed when they didn't win," Cunningham said. "We knew if we put just a little extra effort it would really pay dividends, and it did."

"We prepared by going to a different lake and practicing being in sync with each other while in the boat," he said. "We also practiced by flipping the boat and recovering it in case that happened today."

"We are showing how when the infantry needed to get across the Waal River, they proposed the issue to the engineers, 'Hey, here is our problem. How do we get here so we can beat the enemy and accomplish this task?' they asked. The engineers then solved it by paddling across the river, to me, that is what the The Oar symbolizes," Cunningham said.

"You never know what tomorrow is going to bring," Durstine said. "Engineers have to be ready because we make way for different companies and their missions. If it's clearing their route or getting them across a river, we have to be there to make sure everything is safe and secure for the Soldiers behind us."

In the aftermath of the genocide, the United Nations Security Council created the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR). It indicted nearly 100 high-ranking officials and other individuals responsible for the gravest crimes committed in 1994.

The sheer number of perpetrators meant that most were sent to traditional community courts called gacaca (pronounced GA-CHA-CHA). In the gacaca system, community-elected judges heard cases on all crimes except planning of genocide. The gacaca courts gave reduced sentences to perpetrators who repented and sought reconciliation with their community by telling the truth about what happened to missing people.

Under the Khmer Rouge regime, an estimated 1.5 to 2 million people died from starvation, forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings. Among those targeted were an estimated 20,000 ethnic Vietnamese and 100-500,000 Cham Muslims, who were deemed victims of genocide by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC).

Around 1 million people were killed during 100 days in 1994, in addition to hundreds of thousands raped and injured. For the first time in history, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) delivered verdicts against persons responsible for committing genocide. The ICTR was also the first institution to recognize rape as a means of committing genocide.

About 8,000 Bosnian Muslim boys and men were killed by Bosnian Serb forces when they overran the town of Srebrenica during the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. The United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) ruled that the execution was a genocide.

With that said this unit circle activity is also good as a last resort for those students who just cannot grasp the creation of the unit circle. What I have noticed my advanced students love it too because once they have learned this little trick they can quickly use it to recall the piece of the circle they need. These students can also very quickly figure it out using the special right triangles or by memorizing the first quadrant. For me I just like it as an activity that the students can remember the lesson by. It is out of the ordinary and a change of pace from normal math activities.

You will want your students to use the hand opposite the one that they write with. If they write with their right hand use their left, if they write with their left hand then use their right. The reason for this is so they can write while looking at their other hand to remember the 'trick'. The below pictures shows how to hold your hands.

This is exactly the same as Finding Sine and Cosine: Second Quadrant, except for step five, we now negate both value of the ordered pair. (You also have to reflective your hand again, this time over the x-axis. Or starting from the original position, rotate 180 counter clockwise. This is an awkward position for the right handed people. Fingers will also now represent new positions on the unit circle.)

Starting from the original position, flip your hand down (reflect over the x-axis). Fingers will also now represent new positions on the unit circle. (This is an awkward position for the left handed people)

This is a blog post I came across on Pinterest. I wanted to share it with everyone! Absolutely amazing idea! I tried to reach out to Ms. Smith, the creator of the lesson, to interview her but there doesn't seem to be a contact form on her page. If anyone knows how to get a hold of her please let us know. Amazing Idea! Her blog post can be found at -Circle-Hand-Trick.html

I am getting ready to start my first semester of Nursing in August. I am having a "heck" of a time trying to remember ALL of the conversions. The grains, are killing me! I feel really dumb, does anyone have any great memorizations ideas!

now if you write this out horizontally, and start where your first unit is say 1 gram and you want to know how many milligrams that is, you move three places to the right which is how many places you move the decimal which equals 1000 mg.

What I did was write the conversions twice a day until school started....thats how I remembered them.....and trust me that worked for me..............I still remember them....and will be going into my 3rd semester this august.....................good luck, hope that helps.

Then are you converting from larger to smaller? Think of the L in Larger..the bottom part of the L is pointing you in the direction the decimal place must move. For each measurement you are moving you move the decimal point 3 places. Going from kilograms to milligrams..you are going from a Larger measurement to a smaller one so the L is pointing you in the correct direction (to the right). Ok, so now you know which way the decimal is going..now you need to know how many times you must move it. Kilos to grams (3 places) grams to milligrams (3 places) now you know you are moving the decimal in the kilo measurement 6 places to the right.
