    "Hinc illae lacrimae" (Latin for "hence those/these tears") is a line from the Roman poet Terence's well-known comedy, Andria (166 BC).

  8. Swing equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_equation

    Neglecting losses, the difference between the mechanical and electrical torque gives the net accelerating torque T a. In the steady state, the electrical torque is equal to the mechanical torque and hence the accelerating power is zero. [1] During this period the rotor moves at synchronous speed ω s in rad/s.
