Question

An old fashion record rotates at a constant rate of 33 rpm.

a)   What is its angular speed in rad/s?

b)   If the record has a radius of 18 cm, what is the linear speed of a point located at its edge?

c)   A which distance from the center is located a point which has a quarter of its linear speed?

d)   Find the angular displacement (in rad) and distance travelled by these 2 points (in meters) on the

record if the music plays for 20 min.

e)   If it takes 3 seconds for the record to attain this constant rotation rate, what is its angular

acceleration?

Explanation / Answer

a) w = 33 rpm = 33*2*pi/60 = 3.454 rad/s

b) v = r*w = 0.18*3.454 = 0.62172 m/s

c) r' = 18/4 = 4.5 cm

d) s1 = v1*t = 0.62172*20*60 = 746.064 m

s2 = v2*t = 0.045*3.454*20*60 = 186.516 m

e) alfa = dw/dt

= 3.454/3

= 1.1513 rad/s^2
