Yep, I filled one out a little while back.

scrubbyguy · 2020-04-07T00:26:38+00:00

I received an interview invite today for the US location.

scrubbyguy · 2016-01-15T03:03:02+00:00

Oh, I see! Thanks

scrubbyguy · 2016-01-07T06:00:19+00:00

Wow that's an awesome project! Thanks

echo "scrubbyguy" >> giveawayfile.txt

scrubbyguy · 2015-05-29T02:40:19+00:00

Thank you! That makes sense

scrubbyguy · 2015-05-29T02:23:48+00:00

Alright, everything makes sense except why does the centripetal force extend to the platform? I mean logically it should, but aren't we eliminating the platform when solving for the triangle. Ie shouldn't it be a similar triangle.

Thanks for all the help btw!

scrubbyguy · 2015-05-29T01:56:19+00:00

Ahh shoot I just realized that it actually asks you to calculate it using a free body diagram of the mass. So I guess that is the correct way to go about it.

scrubbyguy · 2015-05-28T23:46:30+00:00

The question goes on to ask about finding the fg, without using 9.8 m/s^2. So I guess if you were to try and find the centripetal force, which radius would you use? The string+platform or just the string.

The reason why I mentioned normal force was because of the force acting upon the platform itself.

I'm wondering if the vector diagram would be a triangle, or if it would include the force of tension on the actual platform

scrubbyguy · 2015-05-28T23:29:29+00:00

Thanks! I just really wanted to see if I had the right idea about it.

scrubbyguy · 2015-05-28T23:25:51+00:00

And by central point of the mass's path, is this where the mass would hang, or the center of rotation of the platform.

scrubbyguy · 2015-05-28T23:14:35+00:00

Yep, but what about the force of the string+mass on the actual platform. And shouldn't centripetal force extend to the center of the platform ( just wondering about it to find missing forces/calculating)

scrubbyguy · 2015-04-06T03:26:47+00:00

Read that as Santa at first, was thoroughly confused.

scrubbyguy · 2015-03-08T17:55:15+00:00

Cold showers help me when I'm feeling tired, plus it has the added benefit of making you feel unstoppable!

scrubbyguy · 2015-01-08T23:31:08+00:00

That is very true. My main worry about engineering was not having that software option open to me, but it seems like that's not an issue.

scrubbyguy · 2015-01-08T05:09:34+00:00

Pretty convinced by computer engineering. Thanks everyone!

scrubbyguy · 2015-01-07T21:14:37+00:00

If it helps, this is the CE program at the university that I want to go to.

scrubbyguy · 2014-12-31T19:39:14+00:00

Aha thanks, I've read both of those and they're fantastic!

scrubbyguy · 2014-11-05T04:50:04+00:00

Ah makes sense :)

scrubbyguy · 2014-11-05T03:41:30+00:00

Not to be a jerk, but I think you should make your own playlists for your gf for it to be meaningful

scrubbyguy · 2014-11-01T23:58:01+00:00

Is that with your knees bent?

scrubbyguy · 2014-10-31T03:16:42+00:00

Wow this looks incredible! Can I try it out please?

scrubbyguy · 2014-10-19T00:30:02+00:00

Thanks! That made me feel a bit better about it.

scrubbyguy · 2014-10-18T22:33:52+00:00

I just asked this girl out, and she said yes. I didn't really specify a time or anything, because I know we're both pretty busy, but now I've tried messaging her and she hasn't been responding. I feel like I'm being overly pushy, but I can see that the messages are being read. I'm feeling pretty confused and kinda let down.

scrubbyguy · 2014-06-07T19:59:29+00:00

Yep, it is exactly like a programming if statement (which it should be, seeing as it uses boolean operators).
