Ok, so here's the deal. I'm working on something that I SHOULD know the equations for after 5 years of school and a degree in mechanical engineering, but then again I can't remember why I walked into a room most times. So if ya'll could give me some guidance and at least a starting point I would be most appreciative.
So here goes:
I have a rotating disc of radius R spinning at constant angular velocity W. I have a point moving outward on the disc in a straight line with linear velocity V. What I need is an equation for linear velocity as a function of R such that the point will spend the same amount of time on each finite area of the disc as it travels outward.
