Help with a control maths formula

    Electrical engineering exam Wednesday and need help on the following control formula if possible:

    Lads there is a smart bunch here and Im looking for a second opinion on a question, Ive a formula:

    TP = 3.14
    (Wn ×√(1-ε^2 ))

    and I want to get the formula reading Wn = , i.e I need to find a value for Wn and I have TP and the rest.

    I think Im right but want a second opinion.

    The formatting on boards doesn't help with these, you'd be as well finding an editor that can display the formulas exactly (OpenOffice has a Math [sic] program and Microsoft's offering has a plug-in I think) as you mean and take a screenshot (or draw it in a graphics package). but assuming it's just TP = pi over (W . root stuff), just swap TP and Wn (or, equivalently multiply by Wn/TP).

    So you get (in OpenOffice format) W_n = %pi over {TP cdot sqrt {1 - %epsilon ^ 2}}, which renders like the first bit of this

    was thinking that was it thanks.


    Also if you could how do I get the roots of this equation.


    8/ s(1.5s +2)

    x1= ?
    x2= ?

    Ah come on, this is junior cert.-level stuff. Set it equal to 0 and solve the resulting quadratic equation.

    Either that or the engineering standards in college are drastically falling.

    Yeah, maybe. Same sequence on the Leaving cert forum. Ah well.
    It must relieve the chafing. ;)
