I know it's a stupid question, but I have reasons to ask this. I have a 4.0 in Electrical Engineering (103 hours so far) and it really doesn't seem to matter to anyone.

For instance, my friend and I both applied for this Co-Op and he got called back. I'm happy for him, but the thing is....his resume wasn't well put together, his gpa is significantly lower, has less awards, and we have the same work experience. I'm also a member of IEEE and National Society of Black Engineers (this had me wondering...).

I also applied for a General Academic Scholarship and wasn't awarded it this year for some reason. I was awarded one last year, so I figured that it'd be renewed this year (I updated the essay that I wrote for last year so I don't know what could have deterred it).

So yeah, does a 4.0 turn off some people? I'm sure that it'll be good when I'm applying for Graduate school, but right now it doesn't seem to matter to anyone.

The problem is this: A Cantilever beam having an extended length of 3m is subjected to a vertical force of 500N. Assuming the wall resists this load with linearly varying distributed loads over the .15m length of the beam portion inside the wall, determine the intensities w1 and w2 for equilibrium...can someone nudge me please?

I don't want to use any elecricity and I would like to create something that once its made, will be trouble free and simplistic in operation. I esp. want info regarding the vane design and the method of drawing the water. I would appreciate any web sites, but I don't want to buy any pre-designed thing or plans.
