Math Problem Statement

Physics problem involving calculations related to rotational motion and trigonometric analysis.

Solution

The page you’ve shared appears to contain calculations related to physics, particularly involving rotational motion or trigonometric analysis.

Here’s a breakdown of what I can interpret from the image:

  1. Velocity Calculation: tan θ=π(0.07)(60)60\text{tan } \theta = \frac{\pi (0.07)(60)}{60} This expression simplifies, resulting in: 0.21m/s\approx 0.21 \, \text{m/s} This part seems to calculate a velocity or speed.

  2. Angle Calculation: cosα1=r1r2x\cos \alpha_1 = \frac{r_1 - r_2}{x} Plugging in values: cosα1=0.0350.020.14=0.107\cos \alpha_1 = \frac{0.035 - 0.02}{0.14} = 0.107 This gives: α1=cos1(0.107)82.861.44radians\alpha_1 = \cos^{-1}(0.107) \approx 82.86^\circ \approx 1.44 \, \text{radians}

  3. Further Angle Calculation: θ2=2α1\theta_2 = 2 \alpha_1 Substituting: θ2=2×1.442.88radians\theta_2 = 2 \times 1.44 \approx 2.88 \, \text{radians}

Let me know if you’d like any further details on each step or if there’s a specific part of this solution you need help with.
