Maybe someone here knows the answer.

Why do text books only give some of the answers in the back of the book? Its always the hard ones that dont have answers!

Homework isnt even part of the grade in most of my classes. if it is, its never more than 5% of your total grade. You do it for your own benefit. But damn if i want to see if my process is right or not, i really have no way of telling.

Ive never been able to come up with an answer to that one.

They don't know the answer to the hard questions. ;D

Because in real life there are no answers in the back of the book.  Because sometimes you have to fail in order to learn. Because some instructors weight homework more heavily. Because buy the time you're through the answered easy problems you should have a good handle on the process.  Because they want you to ask the instructor questions.  or maybe it is just because they're sadists and like to torment college students.

not in engineering! Theres more than one way to skin a cat, but the cat still needs to be skinned in the end. ie the answer has to be the same no matter how u approach it.

That's the problem...

you guys think everything is so cut and dry.

I can make the beast with two backs up your work by leaving out a washer.

You're not that smart. :-*

Don't know much about that......I'm not a very good engineer.

I can't even get a vanity plate right.
