Jan 16, 2015 at 19:24 comment added Zack Wolske The sine values for $c=1/10$ and $d=3/10$ differ by $1/2$, so the answer to question 2 is no.

Jan 16, 2015 at 16:11 comment added Gerry Myerson Morris Newman found, many years ago, all solutions in rational $a,b,c$ to $\sin\pi a\sin\pi b=c$ (and later I extended this to products of 3 and 4 sines). The methods involve writing it as a vanishing sum of roots of unity (and there's a paper by Conway and Jones about that). I suspect one should be able to cobble together an answer out of those sources and techniques.

Jan 16, 2015 at 8:52 comment added Todd Trimble Since you have performed major surgery on this question, I went in and edited further to what I hope is a pretty stable state. Please go ahead and insert the reference to the M.SE question, and perform any other minor edits (e.g., a colon after Question 2), and let's see what reaction this now gets (i.e., after one more edit, let's leave it alone for a while).

Jan 15, 2015 at 14:45 comment added Hjalmar Rosengren You can more generally ask for which rational values of $c$ and $d$ the numbers $\sin(\pi c)$, $\sin(\pi d)$ and $1$ are linearly dependent over $\mathbb Q$. If you can solve this for $d=1/18$ you are done. The case $d=0$ is known as Niven's theorem. Maybe you should try rephrasing your question in more general terms.

Jan 15, 2015 at 10:47 comment added math110 such this post,mathoverflow.net/questions/130319/… I know this is AME(USA) problem,But don't hold,and my problem A class of transcendental trigonometric equations integer solution of such a situation,Related to the this general $a+b\sin{A}=c+d\sin{B}$ problem?So far I have not seen such a study of this problem this paper
Jan 15, 2015 at 10:31 comment added math110 why [on hold]? Thank you
