Way OT Homework help

Ok for the first time since leaving school some 15 years ago im stuck. So I thought I'd ask you lot as someone always seems to know the answer to every question asked. Here goes,
Draw a scaled phasor diagram to determine the equation for the resultant wave formed by adding the following 2 waves:
V1=12 Sin 314t
V2=8 Sin(314t +Pi/3)
I think ive got the resultant phasor to be 17.44 but the angle come to 23.41DEG but need to display as a proportion of pi.
Any suggestions..
Ah the forum doesnt like pi, hmm.

(sorry I haven't an effing clue what you're asking, but I did understand pie)

(I feel really thick now)

2 x Pi = 360 degrees

Did you not use that to draw the phase offset of V2 on your phasor diagram?

MMMMmmmm pie.







yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm pie.

Looks right to me, so the equation they're asking for (with phase angle in radians - so 23.41 x (PI/180) = 0.41rad) would be...

V = 17.44sin(314t + 0.41)

That what you mean? Not sure what you mean by 'display as a proportion of PI', but if you must...

V = 17.44sin(314t + 0.13PI)

or even

V = 17.44sin(314t + PI/7.7)

but not sure why you'd want to express it that way.

I'm very rusty - could all be bollards

can't say I understand most of that but as you asking what 23.41 deg is in term of pie?

360 = 2 pi degrees so you have

23.41/360 x 2 pi or 0.13 pi

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=V1%3D12+Sin(pi+*+t)+%2B+8+Sin(pi*+t+%2BPi/3)+

Have a play with that

Thanks for the help guys.
V = 17.44sin(314t + PI/7.7) was the one the tutor was asking for, he would also of taken .41.
This is supposed to be as hard as it gets, I hope hes right as I'm only 2 months into the apprenticeship..
