What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
We're going to join the gym, mainly to use the relaxation parts. We're both very stressed and we feel this will do us good.
Feel free to send me a private message.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I wonder, is this going to be the first college lecture on statically determined systems that discusses an Ikea Ivar bookshelf?

If you centered the lecture around the Pendel, you would certainly be the first. Coefficient of Static Friction FTW!

Pendel, the shelf with a clock? Where does that involve static friction in a special way?

Um... if it were placed on its side, what mass of a cube with a µ of 0.35 would remain static?

Well, that's a trick question right?. If it's standard static friction, the mass cancels out because it multiplies both the friction force which is proportional to the normal force, and the downhill force.
