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

Figure A shows cross section of a land form or rock. In Figure B, compression stress is applied on it. When compression stresses are applied on a rock, it squeezes the rock cause fold or fracture. The fault formed by compression stress is called thrust fault. If the compression stresses/ force continue to act on a rock it will converge and form thrust fault. In Figure C, tension stresses is applied on the rock. When a tension stress applied on a rock it deforms/ lengthen. There are three type of deformations occur due to tension stresses. One is elastic deformation, in which, rock retains it original shape when force/stresses are removed. Second is plastic deformation, in which rock lengthen and change occur permanently. Third type of deformation is result into fracture or breaking of rock. In Figure C, shear stresses are applied on rock. Shear stresses are applied with equal magnitude but in opposite direction. It cause breaking of rock.

Bezzdna [24]

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Wewaii [24]

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • An elevator is moving vertically up with an acceleration a.

<u>To </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • The force exerted on the floor by a passenger of mass m .

<u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

As the man is in a accelerated frame that is <u>non </u><u>inertial</u><u> frame</u><u> </u>, we would have to think of a pseudo force .

  • The direction of this force is opposite to the direction of acceleration the frame and its magnitude is equal to the product of mass of the concerned body with the acceleration of the frame .

For the FBD refer to the attachment . From that ,

\implies Weight_{apparent}= mg + ma

<u>Hence</u><u> </u><u>option</u><u> </u><u>d </u><u>is </u><u>correct</u><u> </u><u>choice </u><u>.</u>

<em>I </em><em>hope</em><em> this</em><em> helps</em><em> </em><em>.</em>
