Find the phasor representation of an equation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the phasor representations of various time functions, including both cosine and sine forms. The conversions from time domain sinusoidal functions to phasor form are outlined, utilizing Euler's formula. Specific examples include phasors for functions like v(t) and i(t), with solutions provided for each case. A question arises regarding the conversion of a specific phasor representation, particularly for part (d), prompting clarification on the transformations involved. The importance of understanding Euler's formula is emphasized for accurate conversions.

Homework Statement



Find the phasors of the following time functions:

(a) v(t)\,=\,3\,cos\left(\omega\,t\,-\,\frac{\pi}{3}\right)

(b) v(t)\,=\,12\,sin\left(\omega\,t\,+\,\frac{\pi}{4}\right)

(c) i(x,\,t)\,=\,2\,e^{-3\,x}\,sin\left(\omega\,t\,+\,\frac{\pi}{6}\right)

(d) i(t)\,=\,-2\,cos\left(\omega\,t\,+\,\frac{3\pi}{4}\right)

(e) i(t)\,=\,4\,sin\left(\omega\,t\,+\,\frac{\pi}{3}\right)\,+\,3\,cos\left(\omega\,t\,-\,\frac{\pi}{6}\right)

Homework Equations



A short list of conversions from a larger table in the book. These are conversions from time domain sinusoidal functions on the left to cosine-reference phasor functions on the right.

A\,cos\left(\omega\,t\,+\,\phi_0\right)\,\,\iff\,\,A\,e^{j\,\phi_0}

A\,sin\left(\omega\,t\,+\,\phi_0\right)\,\,\iff\,\,A\,e^{j\left(\phi_0\,-\,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)}

The Attempt at a Solution



(a) 3\,e^{-\frac{\pi}{3}\,j}

(b) 12\,e^{j\,\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\,-\,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)}\,=\,12\,e^{-\frac{\pi}{4}\,j}

(c) 2\,e^{-3\,x}\,e^{j\,\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\,-\,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)}\,=\,2\,e^{-3\,x}\,e^{-\frac{\pi}{3}\,j}\,=\,2\,e^{-3\,x\,-\,\frac{\pi}{3}\,j}

(d) -2\,e^{\frac{3\pi}{4}\,j}

(e) 4\,e^{j\,\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\,-\,\frac{\pi}{2}\right)}\,+\,3\,e^{j\,\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)}\,=\,7\,e^{j\,\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)}I have a question especially with (d), the answer is given as...

-2\,e^{j\,\left(\frac{3\pi}{4}\right)}\,=\,-2\,e^{j\,\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}\,=\,2\,e^{-j\,\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}

I don't understand how they did the last two conversions in the given answer! Can someone please explain, and say whether the others are correct as well?

Thanks:smile:

what you have to know is just euler formula: exp(ix)=cos(x)+isin(x).
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
