MHB How many radians does the airplane propeller rotate in 190/3 pi seconds?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the rotation of an airplane propeller in radians over a time period of 190/3 pi seconds. The initial inquiry questions the correctness of the radian usage, noting that 35 degrees appears small for the number of rotations. Responses confirm that the calculations are correct, suggesting that exact values should be provided for clarity. The recommended values include 190/3 pi radians and 7/2280 seconds. The conversation emphasizes the importance of precision in mathematical expressions.

OK, want to see if I am using the use of rad properly here
the answer seems very small. but 35 degrees isn't much for all the rotations.

Answer not in book so hope these are correct..

thanks ahead.

Looks good to me! (Sun)

Your answers are correct, but I would give exact values instead:

a) $$\frac{190}{3}\pi\text{ rad}$$

b) $$\frac{7}{2280}\text{ s}$$
 
Thread 'Erroneously  finding discrepancy in transpose rule'
Obviously, there is something elementary I am missing here. To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so the transpose of a scalar, considered as (or isomorphic to) a one-entry matrix, should stay the same, including if the scalar is a complex number. On the other hand, in the isomorphism between the complex plane and the real plane, a complex number a+bi corresponds to a matrix in the real plane; taking the transpose we get which then corresponds to a-bi...
