That is the problem. If there are 3 dimensions, it is not area If the column has a length/height as well as another two dimensions it is not an area, but a 3D structure. In terms of units, what Charles wrote is perfectly correct, it is an area alright. But the answer he provided was this > It's the area of the column of fuel necessary and sufficient to keep > the > car moving. > > Imagine a car with a "fuel scoop" continuously sucking up fuel as it > drove. > The area above is the diameter of the column of fuel it would have to > suck > up in order to be just enough to keep moving. "A column of fuel with some area" That is a 3D concept, not an area. I suspect that this problem will need a face to face meeting and a paper and pen. shiv >
