Thanks! I used a NASA supercomputer. I just can't figure out how you posted such a perfectly hand-written using drawing. Did you use a scanner? I can never seem to get those things to work, but I've never owned one either. Just sticking to the NASA supercomputer for now

I'm glad you performed this analysis. Maybe someday I will figure out how to draw a full hollow!
Shall we see if delta is different when the inverse sine function is used instead of inverse tangent?



The results are so close that it hardly even matters! I guess it's a good exercise for me to get the work day started at least
