Started programming on a ZX spectrum in the 80's and have moved through Assembly, Turbo Pascal, C++, C#, Fortran. My main area of focus is engineering and scientific computing like numerical methods and 3D graphics.

comment How is torque equal to moment of inertia times angular acceleration divided by g?
I don't disagree, it is idiotic, but it is a result expressing angular momentum in engineering units.

You use it like you see in the original posting.

comment The second resonance of string?
You know about (speed)=(wavelength)*(frequency) and that the wave speed is constant if the tension is constant.

comment What force does the seat exert on the rider at the top and bottom of the ride?
You need to ask for help understand your answer or method, not what is the answer.

comment How to determine the direction of medium's displacement vectors of a standing wave?
Intuition I guess. A node is where there is no deflection, and on opposite sides of the node the deflection has to be of opposing direction for things to balance out.
