What is a word that describes a "mutual switch"?
Basically I am writing an essay that defines blame according to two specific pieces of literature. I discuss whether the author's main character is to blame according to their respective author and then proceed to discuss whether the other author would assign blame to the other book's character. Of course I define blame and all that good stuff as well.
Poorly worded thesis:
in this essay I will define whether author X would assign blame to character A, whether author Y would assign blame to character B, "and then ?invert? these definitions to determine the blame of character's A and B according to the other author." (need help with the part in quotation especially the word in question marks)
poorly worded, I can only go up from here, but I hope you get the point. Honestly any words to expand my vocabulary on an essay like this would be appreciated.

i can get it to (3/5) sin(x)/sin(x) but dividing that into each other would cause me to divide by zero. I know the answer is ultimately 3/5 but not quite sure how to get there.

2 AnswersEngineering1 decade agoWhere Can I Buy Engineering Supplies?
I am looking for some engineering supplies for a project I am doing. These supplies would include small rubber wheels, sheets of Delrin or Nylon, Nylon Axles, and possibly some bearings as well. I remember I found an online store a while ago that had everything I needed. They even had something called "DRM Ratings" that catoragized the wheels in order of hardness. I remember the name of this company started with an "S" and when I went to their website it was basically a PDF catalog with tons of parts. Thanks for the help!

3 AnswersOther - Winter Sports1 decade agoHow should I find a motor that fits these descriptions?
Right now I am using non commercial 9V DC motor. I want to get a commercial motor (what i mean by commercial is being sold wholesale or a radio shack or something) to mimic this motor. I know the specs and everything of my current motor I just don't know what numbers to use when looking for it.
Here are the specs:
No-load rotation speed: 170rpm
No-load current: 60mA
Torque: 16.7N.cm
Current: 0.55A
Mechanical Power: 2.03 W
Electrical Power: 4.95 W
Efficiency: 41%
If someone could tell me a place to find this specific motor, or a place which has a high probability of selling a motor like this. And, what I should look for when I am at a website (i.e. look for a motor with matching voltage and current or something) I would greatly appreciate it. I really don't even know how motors are catoragized so really any help is welcome.
Thanks!
