This is basically the upper side of this.

x = 6
y = 12
L1 = 12"
L2 = 10"

To find theta1, law of cosine again right? Then +90 to it? How about theta2?

theta 2 looks like it's 180...
where are your x and y

What are x and y referring to? The coordinates of the end of the yellow line? And is theta 2 drawn correctly? It looks like theta 2 is just 180 degrees..

Break it up into components:
x = L1cos theta 1 + L2 cos (something that is not theta 2t)

y = L1 sin theta 1 + L2 sin (some angle that is not theta 2)

2 equations, 2 unknowns

The "angle that is not theta 2" is an angle that the second arm makes with the horizontal (so draw an imaginary line going in the x direction, starting at the "start" of arm 2)

From this "angle that is not theta 2," you can find theta 2

I'm assuming x and y are the end coordintaes of the arm (the coords of where L2 is pointing to)

wtf dude how do X and Y relate to anything? It's just like "heres a cartesian coordianate system with arbitrary axis lengths, and and heres an unrelated triangle, solve."

Please explain what the hell is going on in this picture.

Edit: rofl what is Theta two? It's like I have a line segment terminating in another line. But now imagine if that line continued, what would that angle be?

180. Thats the definition of a line. --;;

You really need to put some effort in explaining what the hell youre trying to do. Or draw a proper diagram. This is really frustrating because the actual problem is like some stuff tons of people here could solve if we were given proper background.

How do the X and Y relate to anything?

Theres something you aren't explaining properly. For example, you have given us a picture similar to this:
[image loading]


It's not possible to solve without relating X and Y to it somehow.

If it's a robot arm, shouldn't X=Y=R since the arm is constant length? Basically WHAT ARE X AND Y? In your diagram they are just fucking arbitrary lengths that don't relate to a goddamn thing.

That topic was confusing as hell. The thing is that you haven't formulated the problem correctly. You don't tell us what X and Y are (in either thread) and we were only able to figure it out because of how you formulated your solution.

And is there anything wrong with my solution? I only assumed I knew what the question was because I've taken a robotics course and have done this stuff, so I can semi-guess what the question is asking, but I don't really know myself
