Deriving Velocity Field of Rotating Plate Using v = ω × r
Homework Statement A thin, circular plate assumed to lie on the xy-plane is rotating about its center, located at (0, 0), with angular speed ω. (ω > 0 means that the plate is rotating in the counterclockwise direction.) Show that the velocity field of of this plate is given by v(x, y) =...- crystalplane
