Question 64

A robotic arm's torque τ\tauτ (in Newton-metres) during a specific maneuver is modeled as a function of the joint angle θ\thetaθ (in radians) by:

τ(θ)=4θ3+5θsin⁡θ,0<θ<π \tau(\theta) = \frac{4\theta^3 + 5\theta}{\sin \theta}, \quad 0 < \theta < \pi τ(θ)=sinθ4θ3+5θ​,0<θ<π

Find an expression for the rate of change of torque with respect to the angle, dτdθ\displaystyle \frac{d\tau}{d\theta}dθdτ​.
