A tolerance limit is 0.5% |
2017-01-06 |
![](/images/transparent.gif) |
From Joe: Dear Sir/Madam,
How can I describe the following.
My volume tolerance limit is 0.5%,regardless of quantity.
Say , My total volume output is 344,714 Litres and benchmark volume is 348,194
Difference of 3480Litres, this would give me a percentage of 0.999.
Which is above my tolerance.
How can I explain this high tolerance limit even though volume difference is minimal.
Regards
Joe Answered by Penny Nom. |

A parabolic arch |
2017-01-05 |
![](/images/transparent.gif) |
From Rand: It is most likely already been answered but I can not seem to find the right key words for the search engine?.
What I am looking for is, if you have an have arch/arc and you know the degree of slope and the height of the arch/arc from ground lvl; how do you factor the decreasing angle/#’s to get the distance tween the two feet on the assumption that the arch/arc is curved all the way to ground lvl?
a. where the legs widen continuously (till they hit ground) so yes parabolic &
b. where the legs come down straight after a ½ circumference run.
What I am focusing is the parabolic.
Many Thanks Answered by Harley Weston. |

Plans for dog kennels |
2017-01-04 |
![](/images/transparent.gif) |
From Pat: So... I'm trying to draw up a plan for my new kennel buildings. They are going to built
out of grain bins. I know, cool,... right. Anyway the kennels will be along the outside
of the circle and be shaped like wedges. the center will be a play area. All of the kennel
sides are 6 ft in length so the size of the gate will determine how many kennels I can
fit in each bin. If I want to put an odd number of kennels in and I cant draw
a straight line across to make all of the wedges the same size... how do I figure out the
angles...degrees ? maybe i'm making it too hard but i'd like to give the dogs as much space
as i can. I did up some ... attached. Answered by Harley Weston. |
