Hi folks, I'm hoping for a little help with something which I'm sure should be pretty easy... but I don't have access to any kind of maths textbooks to look anything up, sadly, so I'm hoping you guys might help?
Let's consider a point P on the surface of a sphere, and define Vo as the unit...
im having trouble determining the angles of phi in spherical coordinates when asked to convert a triple integral into spherical, and find the limits of the phi integral. can anybody point out any hints/tips/tricks how this may be done??Please...i have an exam tomorrow and I am tryn to prepare...
a straight footpath makes an angle of aplha with the horizontal. an object P of weight 1250N rests on footpath. the coefficient of friction is 0.1. the least magnitude of a force, acting up the footpath, which will hold the object at rest on the footpath is 50N. by treating the object as a...
Hey If anyone has time or can point me to a link, I am low in math skills and need to know how to calculate compound angles.
I am a 3D animator also and there is a lot of use where Trig. is helpfull
but I have no Idea how to figure what any of these things mean or the context in which they are...
Hi people,
what is meant by sine, cosine, tangent angles, apart from their general definition of opp side/ hypo side; adj side/ hyp side and so on?
how are these sine, cosines and tangent angles invented by humans?
http://img298.echo.cx/img298/2145/pentagon8zw.png ABCDE is a regular pentagon, in the previous question I worked out angle AEB to be 36°.. the next question has asked to prove that BCDE is a trapezium but I don't know how to. I figured it might be to do with showing that the sum of the angles in...
THE SUM OF ALL ANGLES IN TRIANGLE IS 180 DEGREE
THE SUM OF ALL ANGLES IN TRIANGLE IS 181 DEGREE
ONE OF THE STATEMENT IS FALSE
PLEASE IGNORE SPELLING AND GRAMMATICAL ERROR(S)
Which statement is false?
Dear Friends,
I've read about quaternions, and they can be expresed in 4 terms or in angles like this:
a + ib + jc + kd = cos \theta + \vec{v} sin \theta
Quaternions are a generalization of the complex numbers, but in 3D. My question is about angles. For example, with a complex...
Hi everybody,
I would need to find the lorentz transform for angles from primed to unprimed system. Could someone help fast?

So I have ball 'A' with mass 0.10 kg and velocity 1.4 m/s is traveling towards stationary ball 'C' with mass 0.10 kg. Ball 'C' is struck by ball 'A' and shoots off at an angle of 30 degrees to the x-axis, landing on the floor 1.20 meters below.
I figured the time it takes the ball to hit the...
I am not sure how to form a coherent question about this; I can't figure out how to phrase it:
Why are our three dimensions all at 90 degrees to each other?
Drat, I can't even form the question. I've been reading about extra dimensions, such as the further 6 postulated in string theory...
A corner reflector is to be made from a triangular prism with index of refraction n=2.56, as shown in the diagram on your assignment. What is the maximum angle (in °), with respect to the normal to the front surface of the prism, (theta), such that total reflection will occur?
Ok this must be...
There is a work question which I am having difficulty getting.
A 35-kg trunks is dragged 10 m up a ramp inclined at an angle of 12 degrees to the horizontal by a force of 90 N applied at an angle of 20 degrees to the ramp. At the top of the ramp, the trunk is dragged horizontally another 15...
I have to prove that a/\sin\alpha =b/\sin\beta. A triangle has sides "a", "b", "c" and angles \alpha and \beta (opposite of the sides "a" and "b" respectively).
This is what I did:
Draw a line "h" as the height of the triangle on the side "c".
\sin\alpha = h/b. Multiplying by "b" gives...
This is more of a concept problem that I'm trying to grasp.
Verbatim from the book:
"A box is moving with a horizontal velocity, v, relative to an inertial frame of reference so that a medallion of mass, m, inside of the box hangs from the roof of the box with an angle, theta, relative to...

Hi! I'm examining the equality between line slopes and angles. I've, using trig, conclude that this equation holds:
sin(v) = \frac{m}{ \sqrt{1+m^2}}
Anyone knowing a simpler equation is very welcome to post.
hi, i need help on a question
its like... there is a operator supported a plank horizontally by its two ends, but when loaded bricks on its centre and found that the weight of 166kg of bricks was just enough to break the plank. But an identical plank is now being used as a ramp to load a full...
Im stuck on a 3d vector problem. I know Fx and Fz and angle Beta. I've looked at all the equations in the book (both my statics and physics book) and just cannot seem to put the given data together in a manner to give me another value. If I can just get either Fy or one of the other angles, I...
THis is a rather simple question and please feel free to delete it after it has been answered.
I know that in a circle, Angles Subtended by the same Segment are equal. Question: Are angles subtended by equal, yet different (different positions on the circle), euqal?
Thanks
I do not quite get what principle angle angles are. Are they the smallest positive coterminal angle of an angle? Would the principle angles of:
1000 degrees be 280 degrees
-500 degrees be 220 degrees
?
Am I on the right track?
I know how to do critical angle problems, using snell's law, but i was given a circle and I'm not sure how i should go about finding the incident angle.. If someone could help me out with that it would be awesome! THX

I'm trying to review spherical trinometry on my own and I'm stuck where it says the supplement of the solved dihedral angle can be implemented. I'm using "PLANE AND SPHERICAL TRIGONOMETRY" by Paul Rider. Can anyone explain the concept behind that statement, because the examples that I have are...
There's a square detector of area A. When a point source is placed at the center of this detector, half of the emitted particles are detected. What fraction of the particles are detected when the point source is placed a distance x away?

I had made an error on my previous post so i will take it back to the beginning. I can't get this one for some reason.
First look at the diagram: http://bosco.iwarp.com/diagram.jpg
OK here's the problem:
Two identical balls (mass m) undergo a collision. Initially one ball is...
I posted this in the chemistry section, but I was recommended up here. We have a molecule with three unbonded electon pairs, so they will repel each other as much as possible. That's easy, it's 360º/3 = 120º
However, when we have four unbonded electron pairs the angle is 109.5º How?
I...
Howdy,
I'm trying to calculate the angles between the repulsion of electrons. Well, it looks like a vector problem. Basically, can I just think of 360º between each of the individual the XY, XZ, and YZ planes. If I set everything up with generic variables to everything, will they drop out at...
Is it possible to determine the smallest angle that can be resolved with a telescope if the only information you're given is the telescope's aperture? If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.
Does anyone know a site that shows how to draw angles using only a ruler and a compass?
60 degree, 35 degree, 45 degree angels ect.
Any explanation on how to do this would be great. I have to show curves to signify that I used the compass and I believe the method involves a point of...
Hi
Arcsin width/length of a water droplet on any surface will give you the angle between the droplet trajectory before falling (assume straight line rather than parabola) and the surface upon which it fell.
As this angle approaches 90degrees (water drop falling vertically on a horizontal...

to solve a quadrilateral when you know all four angles and one side? I can't seem to find any way to solve the other 3 sides in this one question I am working on.
thanks :biggrin:
I'm very new to this. I know that to find the angle between two vectors we use the dot product, but what about finding the angle between a vector and each of it's axes?
for example:
A = 3i+2j+k,
How can I employ the dot product when there is no other vector?
Thanks and keep posting!

terminating angles??
If sin(x) = cos(x), in which quadrants can angle x terminate?
I have no clue what this question is asking.
also...
If {x+sin(x)}/cos(x) then f(pi) = ?
{pi+sin(pi)}/cos(pi)= pi+0/-1 = -pi
is that correct?
my question is, how do you "Find one positive angle and one negative angle that are coterminal with each angle." :
For example:
\frac{5\pi}{12}
And also, I had a question on this as well:
Find the reference angle for each angle with the given measure.
\frac{12\pi}{5}
