I literally think there are other words that are misused exponentially more often.

Now you’re going off on a tangent. Or maybe it’s a cotangent...

more like hyperbolics.....now.

Ya beat me to it...

Or maybe it’s a cotangent...

is that like a tangential date? or cohabitating tangents?

No yel-- Auuuuuuuugh!

One of the things I try to get through to students is to start with the correct fizzicks. A polynomial or exponential can be coerced into fitting data from an inverse relationship over an interval, but in the end you get stupid results.
If you plot force vs. torque at a fixed distance, you get a straight line. Force vs. distance at a fixed torque, you get the inverse relation with an asymptote at zero.

This math stuff is giving me tired head. Back to My Cousin Vinny references.

 

[Kenny Phillips]

It's amazing where this went, considering the original question!

Do you prefer instant or regular grits?

Were these magic grits?

[LoneAspen]

How much force is needed at 6”?

The answer depends entirely on whether it's an African or European torque wrench?

Alabama mud?

Why? You swallow?
