They're only interested in how long it is
Dayamn...this roll weighs about 175 lbs.
But since you nice folks are trying to math so hard. I'l do it.
Stand by.
I mean the online calculator and scooter have a delta of around 5%.
I want Dylan to roll it out now and see who is more accurate

I was just guessing weight.props to scooter.
i woulda just weight linear foot of it, then divided that by 175
Fuck you smart engineersI know there's already been a couple of correct responses to this...one of them cheating, but it's still a win. Let's see how a scientist would approach the problem...
This can obviously be approximated very closely to a spiral. After all, past the first couple wraps, it is a spiral. Attached is a derivation of a formula for arc length, since you specified to show work...
The first formula is a general formula for a spiral, where you begin with a constant (tube diameter) with a factor that increases the radius incrementally with a change in angle rotating about the origin -
r=a+b(theta).

The integral above for arc length comes from the integral for the length of a line.

Take that oompa loompa crap back to the Chocolate Factory playground.
story of my life!They're only interested in how long it is

I don't think anyone who solved it is an official engineer.I'm not an engineer , only a warehouse astronaut . But thanks for noticing......
Define "official engineer"I don't think anyone who solved it is an official engineer.
I had quite a conversation with an engineer from NY city. He said he was an engineer for some tower in ny. I was asking him how long a project like that took, when the expected completion date, does he have other projects inline, etc. His answers didn't really add up. He said it was a full time job, the building was complete, and he was happy there and not looking for other work. After about 10 minutes of me prying, thinking he was full of , I realized he was a supa. It sounded much cooler to say you were a building engineer for soandso tower in nyc.Define "official engineer"
There is a chain tire store around here that has recently changed it's name to "Tire Engineers" or something like that. I'm sure everyone there is an official engineer in their own mind.
Damn, you caught me again!I don't think anyone who solved it is an official engineer.
We don't need them anyways.
