Engineering Statics Homework Problems. Problems have dynamic Geogebra diagrams and use the quantities extension.

Many are included in Engineering Statics: Open and Interactive, a free, online textbook.

Saved a checkpoint:

changed variable units to unitz, because this is already defined.

Saved a checkpoint:

Fixed the geogebra_applet() parameters to call the scaling functions.  Issue was geogebra accepts abs() but not Abs()

The geogebra_applet() function is called directly in the statement, and the diagram resumes.

The geogebra_applet() is also called and stored in a variable ggb_diagram to be used by the marking algorithm.

The custom marking algorithm fails on 'evaluating variable right_sign' after resume

Currently using the applet variable.  doesn't resume, but marking works.

This demos the problem.    Three methods of loading a ggb applet compared.

1.  uses javascript function Most complicated method, but reloads and can call click script to rescale

2.  Defines a variable.  Doesnt reload, can't call click script to rescale

3.  directly loads geogebra_applet()  Reloads, but can't call click scripts or get values from the applet

Saved a checkpoint:

  Tried to revert to geogebra_applet() method with parameters, but couldn't make it work.    Restoring to previous version... geogebra_function() attempt.

This version uses javascript extension function geogebra_function()  and does not resume properly

William Haynes commented on Centroid by integration: upper and lower bounds are functions 4 years, 1 month ago

Changed gaps to engineering accuracy with units, where units are specified as "".  Should edit question to use actual units.
