Study Notes
Position Vector and Angles
- The angle made by the position vector at any instant with the reference line OX is known as the radial angle.
Measurement of Radial Angle
- The unit of measurement for the radial angle is the radian.
Definition of Radian
- A radian is defined as the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc length equal to the radius of the circle.
- Mathematically, if the radius is r and the arc length is also r, then the angle in radians is 1 radian.
Dimension of Radial Angle
- The dimension of the radial angle is dimensionless because it is a ratio of two lengths (arc length and radius).
