US imperialists and torque drivers

OK, explain it correctly.

Abamps are cgs EMU, Gaussian units are basically cgs ESU, so it's statvolts and statamperes.

But the reason Gaussian units are useful is that it makes the PDEs easier to work with. Six pages of correct math followed by two lines of unit conversions is a win, compared to eight pages of incorrect math plus zero unit conversions. ;)

Word salad. Torque is not work, and force is not work. Torque applied over an angular rotation, or force applied over a distance, is work.

I knew that. Just didn't see the need to fully list both sets of units. It was basically a tease, anyway.

;-)

And good for the Imperial drunks, an imperial gallon is bigger than a US gallon. :-?

Imperial gallons make much more sense--one gallon of water weighs 10 lbs. The ounces aren't the same size, so although the conversion factor looks like it should be 160/128 = 5/4, it's really very close to 6/5.

Your constant use of this pathetic insult word is one of the most retarded behaviors you exhibit, boy.

Applied torque, dumbfuck. That is why it is referred to as a "moment of torque". You cannot take the reading unless the force is being applied and you cannot achieve the measured value unless work was done, and

Applied force is, idiot.

I do not need a primer from an insulting, retarded bastard like you, f*****ad.

Always Wrong.

Being in a more remote colony I rarely if ever need to worry about converting gallons, and any way we have converted almost properly to SI metric. A few things will never change I guess. Auto wheels are measured in inches diametre but millimeters in tyre width. Lots of BSW nuts and bolts in inches and in some (Bunnings Like Home Depot) come in packets marked in fractions of inch dia. and millimeters length. Altimeters are still in feet I believe so that flight seperation levels are one revolution of the big hand (1000 feet).

A farad is 1 As/V, which is equivalent to 1 second / ohm.

Who uses the term "moment of torque"? Perhaps you meant to say "moment of a force" The terms "moment" and "torque" are often used interchangeably. What has " taking a reading" to do with anything? It's typical of you to create a smokescreen whenever you realise you are wrong, which is always, AlwaysWrong.

What precisely do you mean by "applied force"? How can work be done if there is no movement involved?

Oh dear Nymbecile! You certainly need a lot more than a primer.

You really are the most ill informed bleeder I have had the misfortune to communicate with.

That is what it is, idiot.

Some evidence of who else uses it would be welcome, Nymbecile. I suspect is your own invention.

These are the ramblings of a confused person suffering from verbal diarrhoea. You should cut down on the dope.

He was just having one of his "moments of stupidity".

Maybe I should come up there and have a moment of gene pool cleansing.

You're trying to make sense with someone who's never had a moment of sanity.

Hey, DampMatter, if you plan to assault someone, you're an idiot to pre-announce it in public. "Lying in wait" gets you an extended sentence.

If you have threatened to assault me, but now say you won't do it, you're a wuss and an idiot.

If you have threatened to assault me, and intend to do it, you are equally an idiot.
