    will that leads me to this question. HOW is glass formed and what is special about toughened glass in the way it was formed? glass is formed by heating up and melting silicon, floating it on tin to get an eaven, smooth finish, and left to cool / harden tempereing glass happens after it is...

    now that does make sense... i can see now what i wasnt doing... i was trying to do it on the equation P= (f x d) / t power = (force x distance) / time i didnt even consider the height, ke or pe... woops and the other question?

    So whuz ready for tomoz!!!

    im nervous as all hell... trying to get help on the engineering marithon thread actually... but so far im still rusty on a few areas... but u can only do your best, and u only get out as much as u put in... ive been putting in the effort, so hopefully ill get alot out... unless of...

    Engineering Marathon

    you see... i got .0014 aswell... but i went a totally different way... please correct me where if i went wrong E = FxL/Axe (youngs modulas = (force x length) over (area x elongation) therefore 2.1x10^8 = (1100 x 10) / (37^2 x e) e = 1100 / (2.1x10^8 x 37^2) = .0014 is that correct?
