In my Britannica Atlas, I ran into a convention I haven't seen before. The number after the decimal point is the minutes of arc. So my latitude would be listed as 37.42 whereas I would call it 37 degrees, 42 minutes or 37.70 degrees. Is this atlas' convention common?
John B PS: Well, Tony, I've often noticed what you say and never thought about it. Some of us have dull minds and are therefore content. 8-) I wonder what the fill rate is with the hose in and out of the water. If the fill rate is significantly reduced, then the velocity is reduced and the jet's force is reduced since the jet's force should be something like m dot * v (mass flow rate times velocity) I would imagine: Kg/sec * m/sec = Kg-m/sec^2 = newton Yes, that works out (I hope).
