A tolerance limit is 0.5% 2017-01-06
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

A parabolic arch 2017-01-05
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

Plans for dog kennels 2017-01-04
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.
