Angular velocity 2018-12-05
From Kolade:
Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob have covered themselves in velcro, and shot themselves out of a large cannon so that they stick to a huge rotating velcro wheel (don’t try this at home). As shown in Figure 1(a), Krusty is now stuck to a point 3.00 m from the center of the wheel while Bob is stuck to another point 5.00 m from the center. The wheel is rotating counterclockwise at 10.0 rpm. Conveniently a set of axes is suspended just in front the wheel (Krusty asked for axes, like the ones you would use to chop wood, so that he and Bob could chase each other with them in the usual wholesome entertainment he is known for. Unfortunately, the set designer misunderstood.) The axes do not rotate with the wheel.
(a) Find Krusty’s and Bob’s angular velocities, in radians per second.

Meetings for 77 students 2014-09-18
From Adam:
We have a new group of students starting, and would like to set up a series of small group meetings so each student meets each other, hopefully without meeting the same people twice.

We have 77 students. In theory I would like to have 11 meeting slots, with 10 groups in each slot, with up to 8 students in each group. Is there a way to do this?

I have wondered if it might be easier to do 9 meeting slots, with 9 groups per slot, with 9 students per group. Thanks!

A rotating schedule for 9 individuals 2014-05-29
From Josh:
I need to set up a rotating schedule for 9 individuals. The individuals will be pairing each week in groups of two. Thus, every week there will be 4 groups of two individuals and one individual not paired with anyone (i.e. a "bye week"). The rotating schedule should not repeat any pairing and it will continue until each individual has been paired with every other individual once.
Thank you

A schedule for 6 people 2014-03-29
From John:
How do I set up a schedule where six people are here for ten of twenty days. Arranged in rotating groups of three, so everyone works with everyone else. Everyone works with everyone else at least once and everyone works ten days.
