Hi all

I too have just begun with the HNC in Electronic Engineering.
Started with the math course (AME) and must say I find I have to put an awful lot of hours into it. No way I am going to finish this module in the 3 months that I was hoping to.
If anyone has just started this course and would like to collaborate I would be much obliged.

Reading through the mails on this thread was very interesting and actually gave me a bit of hope so thanks to you all already. Hope I do not become to much of a nuisance in the following months (years).

Cheers

Hi guys
Could someone help me to understand a question of the first AME TMA please
The question reads"Water fills a tanK at a rate of 150L in the first hour, 350 in the second and 500 in the third... and so on."
I just want to know what exactly is meant. Is the water entering at the added rate every hour (meaning the tank is at 500 after hour 2) or is the tank filling to up to 150L, 350L, 500L every hour?
Sorry but it may just be my bad English grammar here.

Thanks
 
If you have the exact wording of the question there then it is idiotic.
However if they are describing a rate then it would have to be 150l/h in the first hour, 350l/h in the second and 500l/h in the third.

As they state "rate" is: 150l in the first hour, 350 in the second and 500 in the third, then this must actually be a rate of 150l/h for 1 hour, a rate of 350l/h for 1 hour and 500l/h for 1 hour and this means the indication of sequential time is irrelevant.
After 3 hours there would be 1000 litres in the tank.

If they meant water fills a tank to 150l in the first hour, 350 litres in the second hour and 500 litres in the third hour then this would almost make sense but it is still varying rate of fill.

Overall as worded the question does not make sense.

Hi Richard

Awfully sorry but I made a typo there. The last number should have been 550.
So progression, 150, 350, 550. Should have checked that post before sending, apologies.
What you said about rate made sense and helped me a lot, am going with that.
I appreciate your input an awful lot, many thanks for that.

Best regards

Hi All,

First Post, been reading through your post. I joined the HND course in November, worked my way slowly through AME, but really struggling with APH (Application of Pneumatic and Hydraulics) Any help would be appreciated more than happy to return the favour.
 
Hi guys,

I just finished my EEP module and managed to get a distinction overall. The telephone interview was a lot easier than I thought, tutor actually congratulated me on my distinction. If I can help anyone out get in touch, PM me. Thanks.
