| Aug 23, 2019 at 15:24 | comment | added | Tuffy | I think I should flag this question as not being a sufficiently clear question. There are two problems with it. First, You have not provided any context that would enable anyone to grasp what the meanings are supposed to be. Given that the prose is technical, that does not make it bad writing per se, but your question needs to make clear what the problem is. I can guess it has something to with the motion of a ball (calculating it?). Second, you have not shown what steps you have taken to work this out for yourself. | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 14:57 | comment | added | Tobias | @TaliesinMerlin It makes the consideration of the ball radius easier. (Is that formulation better?) Explaination: By putting the shift parameter in one of the here not mentioned formulae the user does in most use cases no longer need to specify the ball radius explicitly. | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 14:53 | comment | added | TaliesinMerlin | Okay. And so in easing the consideration of the ball radius, you're saying that the radius has a smaller (but not nonexistent) role in the calculation of the distance between the ball surface and the plane? | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 14:53 | comment | added | Tobias | @BenjaminHarman Maybe it is better to say "That motivates the choice of the default value r for the shift parameter s." | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 14:50 | comment | added | Tobias | @TaliesinMerlin In the sense of "to take the ball radius into account in the calculation of the distance between the ball surface and the plane". | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 14:45 | comment | added | Benjamin Harman | It's not clear what you even mean there by "consideration," but I'm pretty sure it's wrong because it doesn't fit with any definition of "consideration" that I'm aware of. The closest would be its legal definition as a thing of value, but that definition is used expressly in an exchange binds a contract. It's also not clear what you mean by "motivates," but you do give enough context to make it so that I can say unequivocally that you wouldn't say it in a technical context because inanimate objects aren't motivated and we don't personify in technical writing. | |
| Aug 23, 2019 at 14:44 | comment | added | TaliesinMerlin | Personally, I don't know what "ease the consideration ..." means here. What do you mean by that? | |
