Question

(part 1 of 4) A high-speed sander has a disk of radius 7.9 cm that rotates about its axis at a constant rate of 1903 rev/min. Determine the angular speed of the disk. Answer in units of rad/s.

(part 2 of 4) Determine the linear speed of a point 3.12 cm from the disk’s center. Answer in units of m/s.

(part 3 of 4) Determine the centripetal acceleration of a point on the rim. Answer in units of m/s 2 .

(part 4 of 4) Determine the total distance traveled by a point on the rim in 2.69 s. Answer in units of m.

Explanation / Answer

1) angular speed, w =1903 rev/min

= 1903*2*pi/60 rad/s

= 199.28 rad/s


2) v = r*w

= 0.0312*199.28

= 6.217 m/s

3) a_centripetal = R*w^2

= 0.079*199.28^2

= 3137.3 m/s^2

4) distance travelled, d = v*t

= (R*w)*t

= (0.079*199.28)*2.69

= 43.35 m
