    Schools How does high school maths compare to university maths?

    I'm just about to finish first year Linear Algebra tomorrow morning (that's my final), and all I can say is it truly does not compare to high-school maths at all. High-school was based on, "here's an equation, here's some value, solve for x", university level maths are more like, "here are some...

    Tension in vertical circular motion

    You don't really need the -signs. As for the answers, generally speaking, tension is always greater at the bottom of a rotation (I think) due to gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy - judging from this, I would say your answers are right.

    Solve Garden Hose Problem: 19.6s to Fill 24L Container

    I am aware I have some major mistakes, which is why I posted it. I need help getting started, I only posted what I had to show I made an attempt. Edit: Oh I see what you are talking about, yes. This is rather embarrassing. Never trust a friend with conversions...
