Google Calculator Error…

Even though I posted this a while back and even suggested Google correct this error, it is STILL showing the same mistake,

…and to make sure that it isn’t I that is making an error, I found this online calculator that spits out the same result as my own obervations,

I guess the only way I can get this fixed is by making enough noise about it, so I’m hoping by have this ‘dugg’ it will get Google’s attention ;)

    Er, a comment that is relevant,

    when trying to get their attention to this, also mention another bug:

    1 Khz in radians/second gives 1000 radians / second. That is incorrect, as there is a 2pi factor involved.

    I don’t know where to find their feedback forms, so I’m sending this bug over to ya, maybe they’ll pay more attention to it if you have a list of bugs.

    Cheers,

    -Dan.

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks a lot for that update. You are correct,

    ω = 2πf

    hence, 1KHz = (1*10^3)*2π = 6283.185 radians/second

    hi, The moment arm formula for torque requires that you multiply, not divide. If you enter “1 ounce * 1 inch in kg cm” , google will indeed give the expected answer.

    Although ounces and kg are both units of mass, not force, so technically they are both incorrect units for measuring torque. The imperial unit would be pound-force, and in metric you should use newtons.

    In google calculator enter:

    200 ounces * inches in kg * cm

    you’l get the correct answer: 14.4015577 kg * cm
