Question 67

A robotic welding arm's joint angle θ\thetaθ (in radians) is programmed to follow a path defined by the sensor input xxx such that

θ=23arcsin⁡(x−812)+5π6 \theta = \frac{2}{3} \arcsin \left( \frac{x-8}{12} \right) + \frac{5\pi}{6} θ=32​arcsin(12x−8​)+65π​

the valid operating range of the sensor corresponds exactly to the natural domain of the arcsin⁡\arcsinarcsin function. Point RRR is the endpoint of the resulting curve with the maximum joint angle.

Select the correct coordinates of point RRR from the options below:

(20,7π6)(20,π6)(8,5π6)(12,7π6) (20, \frac{7\pi}{6}) \quad\quad (20, \frac{\pi}{6}) \quad\quad (8, \frac{5\pi}{6}) \quad\quad (12, \frac{7\pi}{6}) (20,67π​)(20,6π​)(8,65π​)(12,67π​)
