7:03 what is second component of a(theta)? this -> 2 * r' * (theta)'
I understand everything except that.
The discussion focuses on the calculation of the second component of acceleration in cylindrical coordinates, specifically the term ##a_{\theta}##. Participants identified a common mistake where calculations were performed in degree mode instead of radian mode, leading to incorrect results. The correct answer for the problem discussed is 12.66 N. Additionally, the importance of using LaTeX for clarity in mathematical expressions was emphasized, with suggestions for future problem postings in separate threads.
PREREQUISITESStudents and educators in physics, particularly those studying dynamics in cylindrical coordinates, as well as anyone interested in improving their mathematical presentation skills using LaTeX.
There is no explanation at 1:27, but link is good.TSny said:
I get correct answer now.TSny said:In the future, a new problem should be posted in a new thread.
I believe the only mistake you made in your solution for the new problem is that your calculator was in degree mode while your angles are expressed in radians.
That would be my fault. I didn't click into the link for his 2nd thread start, thinking it was the same as the original one (which I had locked in a different forum).TSny said:In the future, a new problem should be posted in a new thread.
Thank you for doing that. It makes it so much easier to read and reply to your calculations when they are in LaTeX. Looking forward to seeing your next thread!Vladimir_Kitanov said:I am learning LaTeX !
No problem. Thank you.berkeman said:That would be my fault. I didn't click into the link for his 2nd thread start, thinking it was the same as the original one (which I had locked in a different forum).
