For Pi Day, let’s track down the surprising spots where this mathematical constant turns up, from the quantum world to the everyday one.
There's your pi. In fact, you can measure the mass, period, and spring constant independently andHowever, we can also use a mathematical function to represent this oscillation. Here is the simplest equation that gives the position of the mass as a function of time, where A is the amplitude of the motion and ω is the angular frequency.This solution includes the trigonometric function cosine.
Now imagine that your right triangle has an angle that is constantly increasing. Since the angle changes, you essentially have a triangle that rotates around in a circle. If you look at just one side of this right triangle and how it changes with time—there’s your trigonometric function. Here’s what that looks like:Since this oscillation is related to a circle, it seems obvious you would have a pi in there.
In fact, you can find pi in any other kind of oscillation that can be modeled with a trig function that contains sines or cosines. For example,
