People using wrong units for things activate my innate pedant mode.
Especially people discussing Rotarycraft.
nm means nanometer, you goons. To describe the measurement of torque you want Newton-meters or Nm.

a problem easily solved by a high-school level physics class.
or an introductory classical physics course in college. mine names it, rather unimaginatively, Physics 1 for the first semester which is the mechanical physics. 2nd semester (Physics 2) is electric fields, circuits, magnetic fields, and optics. my next round of physics courses will be mechanical physics, which is like Physics 1, but with calculus thrown in. yay. math, physics, and engineering courses for the next 3 years. that's what I get for going physics w/ nuclear concentration. . .
anywho, a introductory engineering course is also an option.
or even more simply, a simple dose of patience, along with basic reading and math skills. and that rare, precious resource known as "common sense".
