A motor rotating at 60rpm comes to rest in 10 revolutions with its angular velocity decreasing linearly with angular displacement.Determine it angular velocity as a function of time and determine angular velocity w at t=3 sec..


I need help with this problem...Please someone help...I can't do anything in rotational mechanics:(

Hi Pratz, welcome to PF!

To get you started, you know the that the angular velocity is a linearly decreasing function of angular displacement, meaning that:

\omega(\theta) = \omega_0 - C\theta​

You know what the inital angular velocity, \omega_0 is, because it is given in the problem. You can calculate the constant by noting that the angular velocity equals zero after ten revolutions: \omega(10 \textfm{rev}) = 0. Remember to convert everything into radians. Now that you have this function \omega(\theta), you can differentiate it with respect to theta. Can you think of a way of relating that to the time derivative of \omega?
 

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
