Dear All, Given the enclosed code for 2 spiral functions with mutually missing values of (i) value AND (ii) rotation in each function. Please could someone help me setup the code to Solve / Reduce for these 2 missing values. I have tried many approaches & can not solve for both. ( I can get either value (i) OR (ii), but not both.) Been trying for quite sometime. - Both spirals must equal = 32400 after the Correct number of rotations X the value. - I have tried adjusting the orientation angle M of the spiral. - I have tried to setup calculus rate of change of area of square with respect to time as degree progress inwards from the outer perimeter. - I feel that my methods are not correct. Any suggestions welcome. This question is as much a Math question as it is an exercise in writing Mathematica code. Many thanks for your help & attention, really appreciated. Please see below.
