Compound nomograph example 2

In this example we construct compound nomograph for solving equation

[math]q = u^v + w. \,[/math]

This example is taken from . The equation is split into two equations that each are blocks:

[math]\log (r) = v \log (u) \,\,\,\,\,\,\,[/math]	type 2
[math]q-w-r=0 \,\,\,\,\,\,\,[/math]	type 1

Because one equation has r and other log(r), we need to use ladders, that are type 6. Ladders are not generally elegant choice and we use them because there is no other choice (if we forget "contour" = type 5.)
