SUMMARY

The conversion of the phasor V = 169∠-45° to a sinusoidal function involves the use of angular frequency. The correct sinusoidal representation is 169cos(377t - 45°) V, where the angular frequency ω is calculated using the formula ω = 2πf. For a frequency f of 60Hz, this results in ω = 2π(60) = 377 rad/s. Understanding the distinction between frequency in Hz and angular frequency in rad/s is crucial for accurate conversions.

PREREQUISITES

Convert the following phasor to sinusoid:

V = 169\angle-45degrees where f = 60Hz

The answer given is 169cos(377t - 45degrees) V

I am sure I am missing something, but how does the frequency go from 60 to 377?

You just multiply by 2(pi). :)
 
A little bit more detail, to expand on dstorm's post:

$$\omega = 2\pi f,$$
where $\omega$ is the angular frequency (that shows up multiplying $t$ in the waveform), and $f$ is just the frequency. Typically, the units will be a tip-off: $f$ is usually measured in Hz, whereas $\omega$ is usually measured in rad/s.
