Definetely the mistake is mine. we do not have the angular velocity, but the "frequency w". Therefore, I think we arrived to the solution we were looking for: -w^2*sin(w*t+alpha), where we know the angle, and the frequency w. Is that correct?
the angular velocity is Θ*w*cos(w*t) and the angular acceleration is -Θ*w^2*sin(w*t). I think alpha should be substituted by alpha initial + w*t, this is the only solution I can think about
yes, you are right, i made a mistake while saying that w was angular velocity, w is the frequency. Therefore we will obtain that acceleration(angular)=-w^2*sin(alpha), now alpha would be substituted by... angular velocity*time?
