It just means sketch a graph of ω against φ.Davidllerenav said:Ok, So it would be ##\frac{\omega^2}{2} = \beta_0 \sin\varphi+0##, right? I understand, thanks! How do I draw the graph of the dependence?
The problem involves determining the angular velocity of a solid body that begins to rotate around a fixed axis with a specified angular acceleration that varies with the angle of rotation. The context is within the subject area of rotational dynamics and circular motion.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants attempting to clarify their understanding of the integration process and the implications of initial conditions. Some have suggested using conservation principles, while others are exploring the correct formulation of the equations involved.
Participants note the absence of explicit initial conditions, leading to discussions about how to determine constants of integration based on the problem statement. The initial condition that the body begins to rotate from rest is highlighted as significant for determining the constant of integration.

But how to I graph that?haruspex said:It just means sketch a graph of ω against φ.
How do you sketch any graph?Davidllerenav said:But how to I graph that?
But there isn't any x or y. It is polar coordinates, right?haruspex said:How do you sketch any graph?
Pick a few convenient values of x and see what y is.
Same for gradients at the same points.
Consider local extrema and asymptotic behaviour.
You are just sketching a graph of one variable against another. The physical meanings are irrelevant.Davidllerenav said:But there isn't any x or y. It is polar coordinates, right?
So I have to set ##\omega## as y and ##\varphi## as x, right? Then I you said I just need to plug in values. The values that would be easy to cumpute would be ##\varphi=0##, ##\varphi=1##, ##\varphi=\pi##, ##\varphi=\pi/2##, right?haruspex said:You are just sketching a graph of one variable against another.

You could sketch it in polar if you wish, but I doubt that is what is expected.
To plot angular velocity, ##\omega ,## as a function of ##\varphi##, the usual convention is to plot ##\varphi## on the x-axis and angular velocity, ##\omega ,## on the y-axis.Davidllerenav said:But there isn't any x or y. It is polar coordinates, right?
Like I said on post #36?SammyS said:To plot angular velocity, ##\omega ,## as a function of ##\varphi##, the usual convention is to plot ##\varphi## on the x-axis and angular velocity, ##\omega ,## on the y-axis.
Well, yes for:Davidllerenav said:Like I said on post #36?

At least, ## \varphi=1## is not an easy value, is it?The values that would be easy to cumpute would be ##\varphi=0##, ##\varphi=1##, ##\varphi=\pi##, ##\varphi=\pi/2##, right?
Oh, yes it isn't, sorry.SammyS said:At least, ## \varphi=1## is not an easy value, is it?
Yes, you're right.SammyS said:Other values "easy" for φφ\varphi are π6π6\dfrac{\pi}{6} and 5π65π6\dfrac{5\pi}{6} .
