[SOLVED] Angular Velocity

1.
The angular acceleration is given [tex]\alpha[/tex]=-2w^2 rad/s^2 where [tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular velocity in rad/s. When [tex]\theta[/tex]=30 deg the angular velocity is 10 rad/s. What is the angular velocity when [tex]\theta[/tex]=60deg?


2.
Used [tex]\alpha=d\varpi/d\theta * \varpi[/tex]


3.
[tex]\int-2 d\theta=\int1/\varpi d\varpi[/tex]

after integration I got

[[tex]\(-2)*theta[/tex]]=[[tex]ln\varpi[/tex]]

limits 0-60 for [tex]\theta[/tex] and 10 to [tex]\varpifor \varpi[/tex]

I think I'm missing a step somewhere. The book gives an answer of w=3.51. With my calculations I get w=1.14. Can you advise?

Using pi/6 to pi/3 I get

-2pi/3 + pi/3 = lnw-ln10

-pi/3 + ln10 = lnw

From here I think it is

1/[e^(-pi/3+ln10)] = w

Can you check me on this part?

1/[e^(-pi/3+ln10)] = w

e^(-pi/3+ln10) = w [ln a = b ie e^b = a]

ln 10/w = pi/3. Take antilog of pi/3, use a calulator (or something) => w = 3.51.

(By antilog, I meant, 10/w = e^pi/3. You have done everything correctly.)

I see where I was incorrect.

Thanks for the help.
