AI Thread Summary
To convert the phasor V = 169∠-45° at a frequency of 60Hz to a sinusoidal function, the angular frequency is calculated using the formula ω = 2πf, resulting in ω = 2π(60) = 377 rad/s. The sinusoidal representation is then expressed as 169cos(377t - 45°) V. The distinction between frequency in Hz and angular frequency in rad/s is crucial, as they are measured in different units. Understanding this conversion is essential for accurate waveform representation. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing the relationship between frequency and angular frequency in electrical engineering.

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.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
