What a great 3500 lb free body to use in a problem. My only suggestion would be to depict a 928 if they were dead set on giving a force of that magnitude.

Haha back when I took statics we'd see P-cars all over the place...but unfortunately not a single 944-ish looking thing. Statics really is a great class; it is a great bridge between the "I think I know something because I'm an engineering major" mentality and the "Wow -- I know I know something because now I can actually design something in a quantitative and qualitative manner" mentality.
Dynamics and Mechanics of Materials (these two classes called different things at different uni's) just take Statics one step further.

That is the typical statics problem. Next you probably have to calculate the catenary of the anchor chain securing the ship. Those were fun times (statics and dynamics).

I used that same book back in undergrad...don't recall ever doing that problem but it has been 5 years now since that class. wow that long already...damn
Wasn't till that class that I did anything "engineering" like in school. Even if it is just the bare basics.

my physics book in HS, and my statics and dynamics book are all by the same publisher, we used that book in statics, they have a 996 in there too, I enjoyed picking out the cars. jon, dynamics isnt too bad, just make sure you can do a basid differential equation and your set, i never went to class because i couldnt understand what my professor was saying from his THICK accent, and i still did well.

Ah, the joys of trig!
Got my BSME back in '95, haven't needed any of that crap since...

HAHA, I thought the same thing two years ago when I was using that book on a daily basis. A buddy and I (both 944 owners) had the biggest kick out of seeing it in the book. That little red 944 is all over the place in that book. Like, 1 in 3 cars problems shows a picture of that exact car.

I'm a dirt man (civil), so this is kind of important. Trig isn't a problem, so long as I'm not substituting trig functions into weird integrals. Hopefully I left that unique form of pain behind in Calc II.
