Ametal wheel 50 cm in radius rotates on a desk anti-clockwise at a constant rate of 800 rev/min about its central axis. determine (a) its angular velocity (not
(b) its linear speed at a point 30 cm from its center of rotation,
(c) the radial acceleration of a point on the rim, and
(d) the total distance a point on the rim moves in 120 seconds.
note: you must draw a diagram and pick appropriate axes to aid your calculation.
write down the detail process.

(a) 83.73 rad/s

(b) 251.2 m/s

(c) 3505.4 rad/s^2

(d) 5024 m

Explanation:

R = 50 cm = 0.5 m, f = 800 rpm = 800 / 60 rps

(a) Angular velocity, w = 2 x 3.14 x f = 2 x 3.14 x 800 / 60 = 83.73 rad / s

(b) The relation between linear speed and the angular speed is

V = r w

Here, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m

V = 0.3 x 83.73 = 25.12 m/s

(c) Radial acceleration = R w^2 = 0.5 x 83.73 x 83.73 = 3505.4 rad/s^2

(d) Time period T = 2 x 3.14 / w

T = 2 x 3.14 / 83.73 = 0.075 sec

In 0.075 second, angle turn = 360 degree

In 120 second, the angle turn = 360 x 120 / 0.075 = 576000 degree

In 360 degree, the distance traveled = 2 x pi x R

In 576000 degree, the distance traveled = 2 x 3.14 x 0.5 x 576000 / 360

                                                                     = 5024 m
