Engineers building a bridge with "g = 10 m/s² and π = 3" is like cooking with "eh, that looks like enough salt." The image shows two bridge sections that don't align because someone took mathematical shortcuts. Real gravity is 9.8 m/s² and π is 3.14159... but who has time for those pesky decimals? This is why we can't have nice infrastructure! Next time your GPS says "turn right in 3.14159 miles," just round it to 3 and enjoy swimming to your destination.
