Extract the angle polar numbers

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around extracting the angle from a polar equation related to synchronous generator excitation currents. The original equation presented by the user contained a typo, which was clarified to represent polar notation correctly. The calculations led to the conclusion that the angle x equals approximately -60.84 degrees for the current Ia. Participants confirmed the validity of the calculations, emphasizing the importance of complex number multiplication in this context. The final results aligned closely with the expected values, validating the approach taken.

hi

can anybody advise on this, need to find the angle out of the following

2300=2000+(0.5<x).(4<90)

got as far as

300/4<90 = 0.5<x

= 75<90= 0.5<x

is this correct and anybody able to finish this off

regards

What is 4<90 and 0.5<x ?
 
I think he means polar notation

a \angle ω = a ( cos ω + j . sin ω )

but the OP formula seems to have a typo of some kind; the only expression I can imagine that makes sense is this

2300 = 2000 . ( 0.5 \angle x ) . ( 4 \angle 90 )
= 2000 . 0.5 . 4 cos ( 90 - x )

x = 35.0996°

May be that, or not...

hi yes it is polar notation, got my notation and common sense mixed up (late one last night)

the equation repersents the excitation current angle of a sychronous generator, ( Ia ∠ x ) stands for stator amps at some angle

(2300∠ 15 ) = (1154.7∠ 0) + ( Ia ∠ x ) . ( 4 ∠ 90 )

can some check if

( Ia ∠ x ) = ((2300∠ 15 ) - (1154.7∠ 0) / ( 4 ∠ 90 ))

= (305.4∠-61)

can someone confirm this for me please, if I am wrong please correct ?
 
ah, it's Ia instead of 4... 4 would never get a valid value... that makes sense now; also, if I remember electrics right, you're doing a complex number multiplication, not a vector inner product... so ( a ∠ b ) . ( c ∠ d ) is (ab) ∠ (b+d)... instead of (ab) ∠ (b-d) as I wrote above

so

(2300 < 15) = (1154.7 < 0 ) + ( I < x ) . ( 4 < 90 )
(2221.63 + j 595.28) - ( 1154.7 + j 0 ) = ( I < x ) . ( 4 < 90 )
(1066.93 + j 595.28 ) / ( 4 < 90 ) = ( I < x )
( 1221.76 < 29.16 ) / ( 4 < 90 ) = ( I < x )
( 305.44 < -60.84 ) = ( I < x )

it looks good; confirming result with my trusty Texas calculator:

(2300 < 15) = (1154.7 < 0 ) + ( 305.44 < -60.84 ) . ( 4 < 90 )
(2300 < 15) = (1154.7 < 0 ) + ( 1221.76 < 29.16 )
(2300 < 15) = (2299.99 < 15)
 
thanks for that

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
