How does medium affect the level/amplitude of sound?

In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates i

RSB [31]

a) The length of the arm of the centrifuge is 10.9 m

b) The angular acceleration is $2.7 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

a)

In a uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\omega^2 r$

where:

$\omega$ is the angular speed of the circular motion

r is the radius of the circle

For the centrifuge in this problem, we have:

$\omega=1.7 rad/s$ is the angular speed

The centripetal acceleration is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ ), so:

$a_c=3.2 g = 3.2(9.8)=31.4 m/s^2$

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find r, the radius of the circle (which corresponds to the length of the arm of the centrifuge):

$r=\frac{a_c}{\omega^2}=\frac{31.4}{1.7^2}=10.9 m$

b)

In the second part of the exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from an initial angular speed of 0 to a final angular speed of 1.7 rad/s. The total acceleration experienced at the final moment is

$a=4.4 g$

So, 4.4 times the acceleration due to gravity.

The total acceleration is the resultant of the centripetal acceleration ( $a_c$ ) and the tangential acceleration ( $a_t$ ):

$a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}$

We know that:

a = 4.4g

$a_c = 3.2 g$

So, we can find the tangential acceleration:

$a_t = \sqrt{a^2-a_c^2}=\sqrt{(4.4g)^2-(3.2g)^2}=29.6 m/s^2$

The angular acceleration is related to the tangential acceleration by

$\alpha = \frac{a_t}{r}$

where r = 10.9 m is the length of the centrifuge. Substituting,

$\alpha = \frac{29.6}{10.9}=2.7 rad/s^2$
