From Boeing's turbulence and a catastrophic hurricane, to Donald Trump's election victory, "Sunday Morning" host Jane Pauley looks back at key events of a year that was monumental.
The imaginary part = 2X a Y a = 2X b Y b (walls a and b). The short ladder in the complex solution in the 3, 2, 1 case appears to be tilted at 45 degrees, but actually slightly less with a tangent of 0.993. Other combinations of ladder lengths and crossover height have comparable complex solutions. With combination 105, 87, 35 the short ladder ...
