Spin cycles of washing machines remove water from clothes by producing a large radial acceleration at the rim of the cylindrical

tub that holds the water and clothes. Suppose that the diameter of the tub in a typical home washing machine is 50 cm.
1.What is the rotation rate, in rev/min, of the tub during the spin cycle if the radial acceleration of points on the tub wall is 3g?
2.At this rotation rate, what is the tangential speed in m/s of a point on the tub wall?

Given Information:

Diameter of the cylindrical tub = d = 50 cm = 0.50 m  

Acceleration = α = 3g

Required Information:

1. Rotation rate in rev/min = ω = ?

2. Tangential speed in m/s = v = ?

Answer:

1. ω = 103.5 rev/min

2. v = 2.71 m/s

Explanation:

We know that centripetal acceleration is given by

α = ω²r

Where ω is the angular speed or rotation rate and r is the radius.

The relation between diameter and radius is given by

r = D/2

r = 0.50/2

r = 0.25 m

Since it is given that the acceleration is equal to 3g where g is the gravitational acceleration 9.81 m/s².

α = ω²r

3g = ω²r

ω² = 3g/r

ω = √(3g/r)

ω = √(3*9.81/0.25)

ω = 10.84 rad/s

To convert rad/s into rev/s divide it by 2π

ω = 10.84/2π

ω = 1.752 rev/s

To convert rev/s into rev/min multiple it by 60

ω = 1.752*60

ω = 103.5 rev/min

Therefore, the rotation rate is 103.5 rev/min

2. The tangential speed can be found using

v = ωr

Where ω is the rotation rate in rad/s and r is the radius.

v = 10.84*0.25

v = 2.71 m/s

Therefore, the tangential speed is 2.71 m/s

sdas [7]

Answer:

you can simply answer p1v1=p2v2 p2 = p1v1÷ p2 then inter what given in the formula you get it pl=1.20x 105pa vl= 0.40m3 v2=0.025m3

It depends on the angle of the earth, and our point of view. A full moon would occur if we were to be right in front of it.

As sea floor spreading occurs, the oceanic plate _______.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Becomes older

Explanation:

As sea floor spreading occurs at divergent margins, the oceanic plate becomes older. Younger plate margin are the closest to the margin whereas the older plates bushes backward away from the spreading centers.

  • The idea that the sea floor spreads was postulated by Harry Hess shortly after the second world war around the 1960's.
  • At divergent margins new crust materials from the mantle are brought to the surface.
  • They crystallize and settle at the flanks of plate margins.
  • Older ones are pushed backward away from the margin into far away subduction zones.
