I am VERY envious of you folks that can figure this out.

It makes me wish I would have gone further in Math & Engineering.

I bow to you....

If y'all can find the book, "Simplified Mechanics and Strength of Materials", by Parker, it's a gem for figuring this stuff out.  I told a welder about this book recently and he was able to find it.  I think the author is now Parker and Ambrose.

I usually figgur these brackets graphically since I have to draw them anyway.  Attached is such a graphical drawing. 
I hope this helps.

That would be so confusing if it were true.....
S.I. units,  'kilo' surely you guys wouldn't work in anything so logical as a 103 system..

It would be more like a `kappa' which would be 4 & 3/4 of a drizzle which if you times by 67 is a quarter of a delta mile.. :lol: :lmao:
