    • @chessimprovement4180
      @chessimprovement4180 Рік тому +1

      That depends on where the value acquired in degree mode comes into play. For example, he could be dividing by said value in the given formula.
      For example:
      5/sin(60) would require dividing by pi/180 (or 180/pi). Thus the conversion isn’t nearly as simple, especially with a large formula

    • @chessimprovement4180
      @chessimprovement4180 Рік тому +1

      Also on second thought, this applies to the angle value being plugged into the trigonometric formula. So 50 degrees * pi/180 would give you radians to then plug into the formula. In short, multiplying 0.33 by pi/180 isn’t the right answer (in fact it’s likely be way off).

    Hint for the future, while using a calculator you usually have a small letter shown at the top, so you know what is the currently used unit of the angle, and it’s as follows:
    - D (degree),
    - R (radian),
    - G (gradian, which is 1/100 of a right angle).

      Depends what you do "irl". Having a direct relationship between radius and arc-length is extremely convenient in geometry, and many engineering problems can be represented geometrically. Degrees are more arbitrary (why 360?) but fundamentally related to the radian through the pi constant.

      I know you commented this 3 weeks ago, but in my opinion physics is just math so you'll probably catch on eventually- you could also always study astrobiology if you wanted. idk man i gotta apply to college this week

    That used to be our high-school issues. And still can be.
    But as an electrical engineer, we are much more worried about our imaginary axis that we have to work on. Our math is all based on that "iota" element you see, the things that don't even exist.

    Legitimate Question: Why does the Stress Intensity Modification factor have to be in Radians?

    • @DJWeapon8
      @DJWeapon8 2 місяці тому

      Same.
      I feel like even if you use Radians it'd still fail you because "Must Use Degrees!"
      No explicit instructions = Fail you for any reason

    Is it worth it to get an associates degree in aviation technology and then go to university for aerospace?
