More Morbid Physics


I quote:

 

Two unfortunate frozen, cubical mountain climbers connected by a rope find themselves sliding over an icy (frictionless) precipice as indicated in Figure P.38. Rather than help them, solve the following problems:

 

Figure P.38 seriously depicts the scene, complete with freakish, screaming people frozen inside cubical blocks of ice, one of whom is hanging over a 30 degree icy slope and weighs 60.0 kg.

 

Would it be THAT hard to just have said "two industrial blocks of ice"!?

 

I seriously don't want to stare at that frozen, screaming woman while doing my homework! >_O

 

Oh, and while you're here, save a dying topic?

A morbid, sadistic one! I might have to get in a scan of that figure. The screaming faces will haunt my nightmares. O.O

Maybe they think teenagers like cool, dangerous, high paced math.

Best Quote ever.

 

ALRIGHT!

Let's find out the veloctiy of this out of control train before it crashes!

But we're on it!

THEN WE DON"T HAVE MUCH TIME!!

 

*Calculations*

*Used Wrong Equation*

*Uses one with constant Acceleration*

*Checking*

*BOOM*

 

WE DID IT!

 

Or maybe there's a hidden message.

MAYBE THE WRITERS ARE MURDERERS! :o

Under that logic, OJ Simpson is going to be writing a math book soon from a third-person perspective.
