The angular frequency of a fan increases from 30rpm to 60rpm in πs. A dust particle is present at a distance of 20cm from the axis of rotation. The tangential acceleration of the particle is?
(a) 0.8 ms−2
(b) 0.34 ms−2
(c) 0.2 ms−2
(d) 1.2 ms−2
Solution
Angular frequency w is a scalar measure of rotation rate. It refers to the angular displacement per unit time or rate of change of the phase of a sinusoidal waveform.
Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity.
Formula used:
Angular speed is given by w=60∘2πb,
wi=60∘2πt1(rad/sec)
Angular acceleration:-
α=twf−wi
Complete solution:
Given:-
N(speed)−(30 to 60)rpm.
w=20cm.
∴ angular speed w=602πb1rad/sec
Angular acceleration
α=twf−wirad/sec2
wi=2π6030=2πrad/sec
wf=2π6060=2πrad/sec
α=3142π−π
α=1rad/sec2
Now the conclusion option (c) is correct.
Additional information:
All the equations Newtonian mechanisms are based on Newton’s Law of Motion. All equations are a derivative and all theories are governed by them.
Note:
The value of tangential acceleration of a particle is given by tangential acceleration formula by calculating angular acceleration.
