    while it is under the heading of Maths it really hasn't a lot to do with maths so please give it a look. Its about how tying a knot in a rope will shorten it.... Bit obvious, I know.

    I am doing a computer science degree and have a Maths modelling question to do for tomorrow. I only got the sheet today from someone in my course. Anyway, I don't really know what I'm supposed to do. I've asked a few people in college and they are stuck too (there isn't many in as all lectures are finished). I've typed up the sheet I was handed so I would really appreciate if anyone could take 2 minutes to read it and make any suggestion at all as to what you think I'm supposed to do.

    Also, I was told it was only supposed to be a page or so long (more if needed of course).

    What my sister thinks I do is put seperate headings for Diameter of rope, stiffness, etc. and explain how each makes the rope shorter. ie. The bigger the diameter, the shorter the rope will be with a knot.

    Any suggestions welcome, please.
