The volume under an an uneven surface 2020-05-01
From Solon:
I am trying to fill an area of floor which has an uneven surface. I need to know the volume of fill. If you imagine a rectangular room (4 corners) that measures 189 inches by 240 inches and the depth at each corner is different.
Let us say corner #1 has a depth of 1", corner #2 has a depth of 0", corner #3 has a depth of 2" and corner #4 has a depth of 4".
How would i find the volume of said floor area?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Elevation gain 2008-05-18
From Mark:
How do you calculate elevation gain on a treadmill? e.g. 5.0 miles (26,400ft) @ 15% incline. I have been estimating it as 26,400 x .15 = 3,960 ft of elevation gain. Hopeful Mount Rainier Climber

Forces on an inclined plane 2008-01-10
From Ron:
A body that weighs 540lbs is caused to slide up an inclined plane with a uniform velocity by a force that acts parallel to the plane. For each foot of horizontal distance, there is a vertical rise of 2in. If the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.16, what force is required to move the body?

The incline of my yard as it slopes away from my house 2007-09-22
From Janet:
I need to calculate the degree (or is it percent?) of incline of my yard as it slopes away from my house. Do I visualize a right angle formed by a level line from the bottom of the slope to the side of the house, and then compare the line of the slope against the right angle to get the degree? Or is an incline calculated by the measurement of the rise in 100 feet? For instance, if the ground rises 3 feel in a distance of 100 feet, is that a 3% incline? And if it rises 4 feet in a distance of 25 feet, is that a 16% incline? Thanks so much.
