1. Ok here is a diagram I am HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE 30 DEGREES between the W force came and the radial axis!

CAN sOMEONE SHOW ME or EXPLAIN PLZZz

I suck at angles!

also it says when theta is 5/3 PIE not sure if that means the axis will be at that angle :S
 
wasn't the 30` angle already given?!
 

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
