Not really, just think of m/s as little over third of your km/h value.

You CANNOT arbitrarily declare the value of pi to be 10/31831 no matter
how convenient >you might think it would be. The mathematics just doesn't
work like that.
While I do not intend to discuss Pi beyond reason, the factual mathematics
can be left to mathematicians. My working is ba

On the same line, a radian is the angle subtended at the centre of a circle
by an arc equal to the >radius.
HOW do you cut the arc EQUAL to the radius of circle - arc length is greater
than the side cutting it? My value for Pi, in the form (a/b=10/31831) is
YET another value for Pi tha
If you are planning a aircraft flight and use km/h for the speed of your
aircraft, then it is useful to have wind speeds in km/h as well - this makes
the corrections due to wind speed much easier to calculate.

I am sure you will agree that any arc cut from a circle does have a
definite length. OK, so it is curved rather than straight. That doesn't
matter. Just choose an arc such that the length (of the arc, not the
secant) is the same length as the radius of the circle. Then join the
ends of the a

So the culprit is TRUNCATION!
Your number is NOT pi.
My value is YET another approximation, like any other value - that satisfy
most solutions.
I do say, if a circle is to have *2 Pi Radians*; either radian or Pi MUST be
defined. If not

No, the culprit is not truncation. Pi has a definite value and it is
not your fraction. You are trying to change the value of a mathematical
constant and you do not have the power to do that, any more than you can
change the charge on an electron.
Your statement that "either radian or pi MUST
I did not upload data from an unknown source. I got it from his web page.
I have only one line referring to him on my site:
"Jesse Yoder's Flowtime proposes dividing hours into 100 decimal minutes,
each minute being 36 SI seconds long, but divided into 100 decimal seconds,
each 0.36 SI second
Actually, m/s is LESS than one-third km/h, not "over", 1/3.6, in fact, or
0.2... That's closer to a quarter, but inaccurate either way.
"600 km to destination, and I'm going 100 km/h."
That would be 27.77 m/s, not 33.33 m/s. Either way, to find the travel time
in ones head, one would hav
Just because a bunch of uneducated but elected yahoos do something like that
doesn't make it so. "Yeee-ha!" is not a viable governing strategy.
