So I am able to calculate what ##\tau## is and subsequently ##\alpha## for each "iteration" that I have. The point of confusion comes in when I am trying to solve for the Total time of the event. Currently what I've tried is using the equation ##\omega_f^2 = \omega_i^2 + 2\alpha\theta## and...
Hello, I am trying to solve a problem involving a mass with known moment of inertia about an axis with a lever arm at angle theta and length r with a non-constant spring force acting at the tip of the lever arm and fixed distance away from the axis of rotation.
I am wondering what the best...
