    B Why I think radians should *not* be dimensionless

    As most know and rest can find out, radians are a dimensionless unit. Actually, it's even worse: angle in general is a dimensionless quantity. That stems from it being defined as a ratio of the arc versus the radius. I now present my opinion of disagreement to this concept. In the strict...

    Torque opposite in direction to change in angular momentum?

    First, this was very interesting and thank you for the researched it triggered to me. Second, I totally disagree with Simon. OP never implied change in rotational direction. Now, for my opinion which is certainly incomplete. We all know a cone will generally do that z-rotation. However, I...

    Kirchhoff's 2nd Law: Terminal PD Calculation Homework

    I have never solved such an exercise, but since you provide the answers, I would guess the folllowing: Cell B is connected reversely in the circuit. Thus, the pd of B is actually the voltage DROP it contributes to the circuit. Thus, its resistor actually enhances its pd. Indeed, if you swap...

    Is Enveloping the Worm Gear Necessary for Optimal Tooth Contact with Spur Gears?

    Thank you for your interest. As soon as I finish the 3d model I'm making, I shall be able to provide some pictures to better illustrate what I'm asking.

    Solve Indefinite Integral (x/c) arcsin dx/tan(x)

    This was a really helpful idea. Differentiating is always easier (and possible!) than integrating, and it becomes just a matter of loveable polynomial integration! Thanks! I shall remember this in difficult integrals to come.

    Solve Indefinite Integral (x/c) arcsin dx/tan(x)

    I would like to know the following indefinite integral: (INTEGRAL)arcsin(x/c) dx / tan(x). c is a constant. This is not homework...I found it in fron of me while trying to make a 3d model of an enveloped worm gear. I can explain to anyone who isn't bored. PLEASE tell me there is a solution...I...

    Is Enveloping the Worm Gear Necessary for Optimal Tooth Contact with Spur Gears?

    I wanted to exchange some opinions about worm gear enveloping. I am designing a worm gear 3d model and, putting the appropriate amount of thought in it, some interesting points arise. One may either: 1) Envelop (is that right?) the worm gear helix, so that its radius increases from the gear's...

    Calculating Inertia at Output: Motor with 140gcm2 Rotor Inertia & 71:1 Gearhead

    Let me make a try. By rotor inertia you mean the rotor's moment of inertia, I suppose. This is a characteristic of the rotor and does not change. It sounds like asking how much the mass of a car would change depeding on its engine (or gearbox ;) ). What/why are you asking such a question?
