Mechanics problems, about the use of polar coordinates
Thank you very much, using this I could find both \theta ' and \theta ''. I now think I understand this problem: 1) Find the radius correlation using the law of cosines. 2) Find the angle correlation using the fact that the triangle is isosceles. But I still can't nail the first part...- Xenonnn

Mechanics problems, about the use of polar coordinates
Starting out with the laws of cosines I think seems very good, if I could make it work. This is what I tried (I have looked over it a couple of times for errors, but I can't find anything apparent.): r = \sqrt{2*0.15^{2}-0.15^{2}*cos(\beta)} r' = \frac{0.15^{2}*sin(\beta)*\beta...- Xenonnn
