Review Multiple-Concept Example 7 in this chapter as an aid in solving this problem. In a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher i
s impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so that the ball in her hand moves in a circle. In one instance, the radius of the circle is 0.602 m. At one point on this circle, the ball has an angular acceleration of 64.1 rad/s2 and an angular speed of 13.0 rad/s. (a) Find the magnitude of the total acceleration (centripetal plus tangential) of the ball. (b) Determine the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction.
The solution and complete explanation for the above question and mentioned conditions is given below in the attached document.i hope my explanation will help you in understanding this particular question.
