    Question Involving angular and linear motion and friction.

    So your saying a=rw2 ? (I don't know how to put the correct text format for the formulae) Which can then be transposed to make w2 the subject I suppose. Where does the acceleration come into this though Greg when I was asked to find the max angular velocity? I can sort of see that if i can do...

    Question Involving angular and linear motion and friction.

    Im not sure how to express "a" as something more helpfull GregA, don't worry about it the only satisfaction I am going to get from this question is when I burn my question paper! Im going to email my tutor and request we do an example that is similar to this next time I am in college, I have...

    Question Involving angular and linear motion and friction.

    Both sides of the equation share M in common? I am not sure what this implies to be honest! And with regards to angular rotation when you write "a" do you mean acceleration? Sorry if it seems like I am just not getting this, however this question is so unlike the other ones we have done I...

    Question Involving angular and linear motion and friction.

    Cheers for the reply again, reading what you have written above... the force preventing the block from moving must surely be "mg" and also the 0.3 coefficient of friction? The thing that would cause the value of this force to increase is the weight of the block increasing perhaps? The...

    Question Involving angular and linear motion and friction.

    Hi arildno, many thanks for your reply, I have studied it but have to admit you have lost me a bit...! I can sort of see what you mean, just some of the terminology confusing me perhaps??:confused: Do appreciate your time in helping me:smile: best regards David

    Question Involving angular and linear motion and friction.

    Hi Greg, thanks for your reply. I have indeed hit a bit of a brick wall, I think its through not knowing which method to use to work this out, possibly we haven't covered it enough...but I have some handouts and will try and explain where I am currently as far as idea's... I can see that...

    Question Involving angular and linear motion and friction.

    Hello to all, Im new here, just found the site and wishing I had stumbled across this a few months back when I started my Electrical engineering course. I hope this is in the correct section, I did read through where to put this but apologies if I have placed this in the wrong section...
