Question

A device for acclimating military pilots to the high accelerations they must experience consists of a horizontal beam that rotates horizontally about one end while the pilot is seated at the other end. In order to achieve a radial acceleration of 26.5 m/s2 with a beam of length 5.89 m , what rotation frequency is required

Answer 1

Answer:

The angular acceleration is 4.5 rad/s^2.

Explanation:

Acceleration, a = 26.5 m/s2

length, L = 5.89 m

The angular acceleration is

$\alpha =\frac{a}{L}\\\\\alpha = \frac{26.5}{5.89}=4.5 rad/s^2$
