AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a problem related to circular motion, specifically part (b)(iii). The user attempted to calculate angular displacement using the formula Wd = θ x T and equated kinetic energy to work done. They initially calculated θ as 3797 turns based on an incorrect value of 2278.29, which should be 2778.29. Additionally, a correction was noted regarding the units of angular displacement, indicating that it is not measured in turns. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate values and unit consistency in calculations.

Having problems with (b)(iiI).

I've tried using the kinetic energy value = work done and dividing that by torque.

I've also tried used the other circular motion formulas but haven't had any success.

Attempt:

Wd = θ x T

Ek(from b ii) = Wd

θ = 2278.29/0.6
= 3797 turns

I've added what I tried.
 
I'm asking about a different question here, previous one was in regards to (b) (i), this is (b)(iii).
 
θ = 2278.29/0.6 = 3797 turns

Two errors..

1)Typo.. 2278.29 should be 2778.29
2) Check the units of angular displacement θ. (Hint: it's not turns)
