Answer:
a) 24.0 N.m b) 3.6*10⁻² rad/s² c) 1.07 m/s²
Explanation:
a) If the force that produces the torque is perpendicular to the tethering wire, we can determine its magnitude just as follows:
τ = F*r = 0.800 N * 30.0 m = 24.0 N*m (1)
b) We can express the torque we found above, using the rotational form of Newton´s 2nd Law, as follows:
τ = I* α (2)
where I is the rotational inertia regarding an axis passing through the center of the circle and α is the angular acceleration of the airplane.
If we consider the airplane as a point mass, the rotational inertia I can be calculated as follows:
I = m*r² = 0.750 Kg * (30.0)² m² = 675 Kg*m²
From (1) and (2), we can solve for α, as follows:
⇒α = 3.6*10⁻² rad/s²
c) Applying the definition of the angular velocity, and the definition of an angle, we can find the following realtionship between the linear and angular velocity:
v = ω*r
Dividing both sides by Δt, we can extend this relationship to the linear and angular acceleration, as follows:
a = α*r
a = 3.6*10⁻² rad/s²* 30.0 m = 1.07 m/s²
