This post made me remember something. Did you hear about the old southern backwoods guy that asked his son what he had learned in school today? The boy's response was that he had learned pi-R-squared. As the father smacked the kid on the head he yelled "Damn boy, everybody knows pie are round, CORNBREAD ARE SQUARE"!

 

RETRO: I see below you've recovered, but, using 3.14 as a value for pi, I get (.25)(3.14)(6.6)(6.6)(7.2) = 246.2 cc

Sorry, its REMEDIAL MATH for you!

Congratulations! Our formulas are identical, except in the one I provided, (1/4) (Diameter) (Diameter) is the expression for (Radius) (Radius). Check it out; see if you don't get the same number result.

Fun fact for the day: the square of the radius equal 1/4 the square of the diameter.

Ain't science grand?

Yes Tree Farmer you were right. I wasn't reading your equation right. Maybe some()'s would have made it more clear. Now the question is........
Are 330's and 350's made by just boring or are they stroked somehow? Please explain in detail how a longer or shorter rod or stroke is done with an R engine. Anyone??????

Greetings,

Oh yeah, how embarrassing. I think I was thinking of the indefinite interval -- I'm sure that has something to do with calculus and the measure of a curve, or something like that. Wow, my head hurts, but congratulations to Retro on a real breakthrough.

Now lets move on to calculating the velocity needed to overcome gravity (i.e catch air) based on quad weight and ramp angle.

Don't any of us have any real work to do today?

 

DR. ROD: I believe an "INTEGER" is a whole number; an "INTEGRAL," the result of a mathematical process in integral calculus known as "INTEGRATION."

Essentially, an integral is the sum of all values of a function, either for its entire excursion (indefinite integral), or, between specified limits, where it's known as a "definite integral."

However, I'm no mathematics authority, my grades prove this fact!

That one is easy! Just go as fast as you can, say a prayer or two as you hit the jump, and yell weeeeeeeeeeeee in the air.

 

You mathematical inginears have it all wrong about calculus equations...integration is what the Feds started with public schools in the south back in the early '70s. It reminds me of when I was little while climbing a huge tree, I fell and and landed on a square root breaking my radius...

I couldn't resist, sorry. I hope I don't get banned.

 

Greetings,

OK, so there’s this great Indian chief with three wives, and upon the dawning of the new moon he finds each is great with child. So to celebrate the event he gives each wife an animal skin on which to recline. For the first wife, he gives a buffalo hide; for the second, he gives an antelope hide; and for the third wife – after trading far and wide – he gives a hippopotamus hide. So at the ninth moon, the wives present him with sons. The wife on the buffalo hide gives him a son, the wife on the antelope hide gives him a son, but the wife on the hippopotamus hide gives him twin sons. Which goes to prove that the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.

 

Doh! Rod, You're outta here.
Me too.
