Xr6t + tapatalk + KS = double post.

In this algebraic equation The KS is irrelevant. Replace KS with Smart Phone and you may have an equation.

[Rab]

In the above KS is the undefined constant we're after the answer for.

KS = Smart Phone would be your answer - no need to replace it

something, something, something tugging at memory from school - upper case letters are constants or something, lowercase are the variables

Upper case letters denote sets.. Lower case letters denote variables..

Depends on the branch of mathematics though.. Some lower case letters are constants, ie: g = -9.81

In hydraulics constants are generally denoted using Greek letters, capitals are sets ie: P, and lower case are variables..

P= a x g/h

[Rab]

g isn't a constant though

Accepted acceleration due to gravity without consideration of resistance only varies between 9.78 and 9.82 as far as I know.. That's pretty close to constant

[Rab]

g is small because it can be used anywhere in the universe and the formula still works - on the moon, mars, or jupiter it'll be a different number you punch in, but still work with the formula

even uranus

[k31th]

gravity is essentially a calculable constant - a variable constant

Yeah we aren't talking about acceleration of a rigid mass object in Uranus rab.. We are talking about pretty basic earth physics :-{
