The discussion focuses on identifying the Wt symbol in the piston assembly inertia formula. The formula provided calculates piston assembly inertia using reciprocating mass, crank radius, and angular frequency. W represents angular frequency, calculated as crank rotations per second multiplied by 6.28. Wt is described as an unknown variable within the formula. The participants are seeking clarification on the meaning and application of Wt in this context.

Here is the formula in the screenshot figuring piston assembly inertia.
piston assembly inertia = Reciprocating Mass * CRANK RADIUS * W^2*(COS(Wt)+(crank radius/rod length)*COS(2*Wt))
W=angular frequency (crank rotations in 1 second times 6.28)
Wt=unknown
CRANK RADIUS=piston stroke/2

Please identify the Wt (omega t) symbol. thanks

Thread 'What is the pressure of trapped air inside this tube?'
As you can see from the picture, i have an uneven U-shaped tube, sealed at the short end. I fill the tube with water and i seal it. So the short side is filled with water and the long side ends up containg water and trapped air. Now the tube is sealed on both sides and i turn it in such a way that the traped air moves at the short side. Are my claims about pressure in senarios A & B correct? What is the pressure for all points in senario C? (My question is basically coming from watching...
