Answer:
d) α = 1693.5 rad / s²
, a = 392.7 m / s²
, a_total = α √(R² +1)
,
e) tan θ = a / α
Explanation:
This is an exercise in linear and angular kinematics.
We initialize reduction of all the magnitudes to the SI system
w₀ = 3000 rev / min (2π rad / 1rev) (1min / 60s) = 314.16 rad / s
w = 6000 rev / mi = 628.32 rad / s
θ = 12 rev = 12 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 75.398 rad
d) ask for centripetal, tangential and total acceleration.
Let's start by looking for centripetal acceleration, let's use the formula
w² = w₀² + 2 α θ
α = (w²- w₀²) / 2θ
we calculate
α = (628.32²2 - 314.16²) / 2 75.398
α = 1693.5 rad / s²
the quantity is linear and angular are related
the linear or tangential acceleration is
a = α R
where R is the radius of the drum
a = 1693.5 R
Unfortunately you do not give the radius of the drum for a complete calculation, but suppose it is a washing machine drum R = 20 cm = 0.20 m
a = 1693.5 0.20
a = 392.7 m / s²
the total acceleration is
a_total = √(a² + α²)
a_total = √ (α² R² + α²)
a_total = α √(R² +1)
e) The centripetal acceleration is directed towards the center of the movement is radial and its magnitude is constant
Tangential acceleration is tangency to radius and its value varies proportionally radius
the total accelracicon is the result of the vector sum of the two accelerations and their directions given by trigonometry
tan θ = a / α
the angular velocity increases linearly when with centripetal acceleration
