A disk-shaped dough is initially spinning at 2 rotations per second (1 rotation = 360°). As time goes on, it slowly deforms, and is now spinning at a different angular speed. The dough changed radius from 16 cm to 17 cm, and its mass remained constant throughout. What is its final angular speed in degrees/s?

10.44° per sec

Explanation:

Initial angular speed N = 2 rotations per minute

converting to rad/s ω = 2πN/60 = (2 x 3.142 x 2)/60 = 0.21 rad/s

the initial radius of the disk = 16 cm = 0.16 m

final radius = 17 cm = 0.17 m

Angular momentum = ω

where = rotational inertia = mass x

ω = angular speed

For the initial case

= m x = 0.0256m

Angular momentum = 0.0256m x 0.21 = 0.0054m

For second case

= m x = 0.0289m

Angular momentum = 0.0289m x ω = 0.0289mω

For conservation of rotational momentum, initial angular momentum must be equal to the final angular momentum

0.0054m = 0.0289mω

m cancels out, we have

0.0054 = 0.0289ω

ω = 0.187 rad/s

converting back to rpm, we have

N = 0.187/2π = 0.029 rotations per sec

0.029 x 360 = 10.44° per sec

answer: the direction of the wind is expressed as the direction from which the wind is blowing. for example, easterly winds blow from east to west, while westerly winds blow from west to east.
