Angular Displacement
Angular displacement, abbreviated as \( \theta \) (Greek symbol theta), is the angle through which a body moves in a circular path.
Angular displacement from the radius formula |
||
\(\large{ \theta_d = \frac{s}{r} }\) | ||
Symbol | English | Metric |
\(\large{ \theta_d }\) (Greek symbol theta) = angular displacement | \(\large{deg}\) | \(\large{rad}\) |
\(\large{ s }\) = distance covered by the object on the circular path | \(\large{ft}\) | \(\large{m}\) |
\(\large{ r }\) = radius of circular path | \(\large{ft}\) | \(\large{m}\) |
Angular displacement from Angular Velocity formula |
||
\(\large{ \theta_d = \omega \; t }\) | ||
Symbol | English | Metric |
\(\large{ \theta_d }\) (Greek symbol theta) = angular displacement | \(\large{deg}\) | \(\large{rad}\) |
\(\large{ \omega }\) (Greek symbol omega) = angular velocity | \(\large{\frac{deg}{sec}}\) | \(\large{\frac{rad}{s}}\) |
\(\large{ t }\) = time | \(\large{sec}\) | \(\large{s}\) |
Angular displacement from angular Acceleration formula |
||
\(\large{ \theta_d = \omega\; t + \frac{1}{2} \; a \; t^2 }\) | ||
Symbol | English | Metric |
\(\large{ \theta_d }\) (Greek symbol theta) = angular displacement | \(\large{deg}\) | \(\large{rad}\) |
\(\large{ a }\) = acceleration | \(\large{\frac{ft}{sec^2}}\) | \(\large{\frac{m}{s^2}}\) |
\(\large{ r }\) = radius of circular path | \(\large{ft}\) | \(\large{m}\) |
\(\large{ t }\) = time | \(\large{sec}\) | \(\large{s}\) |
