    @"shrimp"#10 yes just implicit differentiation of each side with respect to t
    so (d/dt)h and (d/dt)(sqrt(5v/pi))
    = dh/dt = (sqrt(5))/ (2(sqrt((pi)(v))))(dv/dt)
    now we just plug in conditions
    v at h=200 = 1/3
    pi 200 120^2
    dv/dt = -10
    still no calculator but at this point that's all you need


    "A lighthouse light rotates at a rate of 3 revolutions per minute. The beam hits a wall located 10 miles away and
    produces a dot of light that moves horizontally along the wall. How fast is this dot moving when the angle
    between the beam and the line through the lighthouse perpendicular to the wall is pi/6?"


    this question isnt really calculus as far as i can tell
    3 rev/m = pi/10 rad/s
    recall that angular speed is rad/s * radius
    now we just make a triangle where the hypotenuse is the beam of light at pi/6 from perpendicular, the longer side is the perpendicular beam (10m) and the angle between the hypotenuse and the 10m side is pi/6


    so to solve for the hypotenuse you do cos(pi/6)=10/h
    cos(pi/6)= sqrt(3)/2 so we divide 10 by sqrt(3)/2 and that'll give us hypotenuse length. multiply by our pi/10 rad/s and that should be the speed at this distance. 2pi/sqrt(3) rad/s should be your answer.


    keep posting these i need to keep my calc up to date

    "A water tank in the shape of a right circular cone of radius 300 cm and height 500 cm leaks water from the
    vertex at a rate of 10 cubic cm/minute. Find the rate at which the water level is decreasing when the height is
    200 cm."
    kinda a mean question but here you go. gonna assume you're not supposed to use integration so imma avoid it cause related rates usually dont use them
    cone volume formula is ((pih)/3)r^2=V
    we're solving for dh/dt at h=200 so first we gotta come up with a formula for height so we can compare it to time.
    some algebra with the cone formula gives you (3V)/(pi*r^2) = h which is an issue cause r is dependent on h. using some basic similar right triangle laws we know that r=3h/5 some substitution and algebra later we get sqrt(5v/pi) = h which is much more workable. you should be able to do the calculus for the rest but if not lmk and ill go through it


    its late at night and ill do the next question tomorrow

    @'Ryan' I don’t see how a one month indef ban teaches a lesson. Come back in a few months and my mind may change.

    Putting a time limit on forgiveness is petty imo. What Flobbier did was petty as well but two wrongs don't make a right. I think he's genuinely sorry and if you don't accept that now then I don't see what waiting does. As the owner, you have the ability to change other people's votes based solely on what you say and I think it's unfair to essentially doom somebody's appeal this way. I urge you to judge the situation from a neutral standpoint, and not from one of the afflicted - because what you say is practically the lynchpin of the appeal. The same goes to all other players, especially admins: do not let Ryan's vote determine your own, if you judge that Flobbier truly does not deserve to be unbanned, then object and provide personal reasoning.

    Quote

    ! Notice how before Ryan's objection there were zero genuine objections, and afterwards there were six.

    @'Panther' do you really think that if I start just adding features to the freedom server it’s suddenly going to become entertaining

    As EMM, you should know features isn't what's hurting player's interest in freedom. Uninvolved administration and bad mentality are. Admins who only ever talk in f1sc on discord, admins that join and go afk immediately, and admins that refuse to acknowledge newer players unless directly asked something.

    Quote

    !I did a little bit of an experiment last night: a new player joined and immediately asked if we had worldedit. Any admin who's been in the business more than a week knows that's a red flag for someone who just wants to grief. I saw them trying to set a selection of somebody else's build to air but was using '//clear' instead of the appropriate w.e. command. Instead of warning them not to grief, I attempted to engage them in conversation. I asked them something along the lines of "what's your favorite flavor airhead?" And that got us talking about which was the best. They stayed for about 15 more minutes chatting about different subjects then left without having broken any rules - and I bet there's a good chance they'll be back.


    @'Panther' If we want to improve retention, we literally have no option but to use the skills of the staff team we have to work on a new gamemode

    I simply don't know how you've come to this conclusion. We aren't somehow going captivate a new audience by making a new gamemode.


    I recommend you actually do your job as EMM and see what the playerbase wants. Put up a poll about how people first found TF to see what we can do to increase player count. Put up a poll asking people why they play TF so we can improve the experience for the people that do stay. It isn't that hard. This whole mentality of one fix all is just idiotic.

      Alco_Rs11 truly live out the “TotalFreedom” name


      videogamesm12 would fit in with the name of our server - “Total Freedom”

    I'm sick of people bringing this up. The server has built its identity on a creative experience with limited rules to allow for greater freedom in creating whatever you want- our identity is not anarchy and it should never be. Through this medium we have cultivated one of the most lasting communities not only in Minecraft, but on the internet.

    Quote

      videogamesm12 Many players in the past have complained that the server’s name is misleading

    These are the same players that join with the sole intent to grief and spout slurs under the perception that this server is anarchy. These are not players who will help our community thrive.

    Quote

      videogamesm12 return to its roots

    TF was unpopular at its genesis due to its flawed anarchy mindset. When rules were added, the server became more popular and retention increased.

      videogamesm12 We can improve the freedom server and work on building an anarchy server at the same time.

    No, we can't.

    @'aeluraydakx4' if you read my previous reply and my in game message, then you would know that my design was able to play 8 notes per beat - but i only needed 5, yours is limited to 5 for its size. i only needed 5 at the time but i could have added more.
    "jwmphall » literally the smallest possible arrangement of noteblocks in this configuratio" [sic]
    to which you proceeded to attempt smaller

      heliumpluto strongly resembled a swastika.

    if you believe it STRONGLY resembles a swastika then i cant help change your mind. but as i explained, it is difficult to find a better design for the machine. also you never apologized, as anybody who wants to browse the fs1 discord channel can attest to.

      erin i built a very space efficient noteblock machine to play a simple 2-5-1 musical progression to see how chords sound in minecraft (been thinking about doing noteblock music for a while). it could potentially allow for 8 notes per beat in a looping cycle. when i finished all that i wanted, i had it a configuration that played 5 notes per beat. i jokingly noticed a VERY SLIGHT resemblance to a swastika and mentioned in chat (intentionally spelling swastika wrong to portray the sarcasm in what i said). i was promptly smited for building a swastika and went on to argue about the wrongful nature of the punishment with helium. when questioned, i put Ael up to the challenge of finding a smaller volume design than what i had constructed for the same purpose, to which they were unable.


    any resemblance a player may perceive was entirely unintentional and i am (as anybody on the server can attest to) unwilling to be wrongfully punished; which is why the argument broke out. to see the design the coordinates in the flatworld are -2410, 60 -7168

      Luke Cultural deprivation sociologists argue

    Fictional occupation - especially as far as the reader can tell. Elaboration is necessary. Additionally, argue is a weak word.

    Quote

      Luke However, other sociologists

    Unspecific and vague - you should instead say: "By contrast, dissenting sociologists in the field may cite..."

    Quote

      Luke theories such as

    The introductory phrase 'such as' should be avoided to avoid dumbing down your diction; as well as the fact that you only list one such theory. A better substitute would be 'theories akin to [or concurrent with]...'

    Quote

      Luke This essay will evaluate cultural deprivation and other sociological explanations

    This sentence is phrased inadequately and is vague. Self referential messages like 'this essay' should be avoided at all costs in academic writing. A simple omission of the phrase and a restructuring of the sentence would suffice. The mention of "other sociological explanations" is vague and unnecessary given your prior sentences. (also slightly confused why you put a plural on 'explanations' despite only citing one other explanation.' A complete rewrite of the sentence follows: "These discordant views on the causation of educational inequality among minority ethnic groups are at the core of academic debate surrounding the issue."

      Luke Bernstein argues from a cultural deprivation perspective that

    There should be an introductory statement before mentioning this Bernstein person- likely including a summary or definition of the cultural deprivation theory and Hubbs-Taits et al.'s theory. Anyway who's Bernstein and why should I listen to him? An accreditation and a minutia of information on his qualifications is necessary for the reader. "Renowned for his works on the sociology of education, Basil Berstein (PHD) contends..." Omit "from a cultural deprivation perspective" and instead either refer to your introductory statement of the paragraph or redefine Bernstein's relationship to this theory.

    Quote

      Luke Restricted code is used by the working class and is limited, and elaborated code is used by the middle class and has a wider vocabulary. Other sociologists such as Hubbs-Tait et al also found that when parents use language that is more evaluative, cognitive performance improves

    This sounds like a two year old wrote it. Mix of run-on sentences and vague periodic sentences. Revision may look like "Bernstein, in conjunction with Hubbs-Tait et al., claims that the working class employs a simpler dialect, limited by an intrinsic linguistic bias against differing ethnicities to the acclaimed default of a given location. Conversely, the dialect utilized by middle and upper class is more diverse and possesses a broader vocabulary range. This inequity in linguistic upbringing can be attested to be responsible for the apparent disadvantage of ethnic minorities in formal schooling.

      Luke helps us

    Oh yeah? Us? Who's us?

    Quote

      Luke This means that every student,

    "this means" is a very weak way to connect evidence to a claim. Instead say "this implies" or "this should indicate."

    Quote

      Luke Thus, cultural deprivation explanations overlook the curriculum within education and that all students have the ability to learn elaborated code

    This explanation is weak-sauce and is contradicted by information previously stated in the paragraph.

    Quote

      Luke However, sociologists such as Dunne and Gazeley argue that schools persistently produce underachievers due [sic] labels and assumptions made by teachers

    Same issue as the start of the last paragraph. No citation nor introductory statement. Also improper grammar.

    Quote

      Luke Studies were undertaken by Gillborn and Youdell which

    The addition of "were" and "which" changes the point of view of the writer from a neutral 3rd person to a narrator. Omit these to prevent a POV switch. "Studies (include some detail of study process) undertaken by Gillborn [citation needed] and Youdell [citation needed] found..."

    Quote

      Luke This helps us understand why students from different ethnic backgrounds, as the negative labelling eventually leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy in which black pupils fail due to the labels given to them rather than external factors.

    There are two parts of this sentence separated by a comma. Neither of the sides are related and the first part is incomplete. Also, your consistent use of the term label without describing the nature of the labels is confusing. Additionally 'self-fulfilling prophecy' makes you sound like a novel writer, not an essayist. Words like inexorable or ineluctable would be very preferable.

    Quote

      Luke However, this theory overlooks that pupils are free to reject the labels given to them and that poor attainment is not deterministic.

    Again, what labels are you talking about? The more you write the less this essay makes cohesive sense. "Poor attainment is not deterministic" is confusing. What do you mean deterministic? Because your entire previous paragraphs that poor achievement can be determined by outside factors and here you disregard that.

    Quote

      Luke This also overlooks the fact that not only [sic] teachers give negative labels.

    Bruh stop with the labels for real. Also bad grammar - should say "...the fact that teachers are not exclusively responsible for giving negative labels." to prevent awkward wording and confusion.

      Luke Sewell argues that the “biggest barrier facing black boys is actually black peer pressure”

    Yeah who's Sewell? Entirely unmentioned before then. Also Sewell doesn't argue that; he claims that.

    Quote

      Luke if the black boys were to try in education they would be labelled and bullied by their peers

    I hate that you put ''the' black boys' as if there's a selection of them that Sewell is specifically referring to when he clearly means all black boys. Also stop saying black boys it sounds bad.

    Quote

      Luke Thus, labelling theory explains how internal factors can lead to ethnic differences within educational achievement but does not account for external labelling from peer groups.

    You didn't even talk about the labelling theory or internal factors. Nor did you really talk about variance in educational achievement outside one sentence.

    Quote

      Luke In conclusion

    Imagine starting a conclusion with "in conclusion"

    Quote

      Luke they demonstrate that the difference in educational achievement is not purely due to external factors.

    Was that the prompt? Because with the way you wrote the entire essay it is entirely clear what you're actually trying to argue.


    Conclusion:
    SO IN CONCLUSION I OBJECT TO YOUR DUMB ESSAY FULL OF MISTAKES
