A wheel with a tire mounted on it rotates at the constant rate of 2.73 revolutions per second. Find the radial acceleration of a tack stuck in the tire at a distance of 37.7 cm from the rotation axis.

Respuesta :

Answer:

110.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Distance of the tack from the rotational axis (r) = 37.7 cm

Constant rate of rotation (N) = 2.73 revolutions per second

Now, we know that,

1 revolution = [tex]2\pi[/tex] radians

So, 2.73 revolutions = [tex]2.73\times 2\pi=17.153\ radians[/tex]

Therefore, the angular velocity of the tack is, [tex]\omega=17.153\ rad/s[/tex]

Now, radial acceleration of the tack is given as:

[tex]a_r=\omega^2 r[/tex]

Plug in the given values and solve for [tex]a_r[/tex]. This gives,

[tex]a_r=(17.153\ rad/s)^2\times 37.7\ cm\\a_r=294.225\times 37.7\ cm/s^2\\a_r=11092.28\ cm/s^2\\a_r=110.9\ m/s^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ [1\ cm = 0.01\ m][/tex]

Therefore, the radial acceleration of the tack is 110.9 m/s².

The required value of the radial acceleration of a tack stuck in the tire is  [tex]110.9 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex].

Radial Acceleration:

An object moving along the circular path such that the rate of change of angular velocity, directed towards the circumferential center, is known as radial acceleration.

Given data:

The radial distance from the axis is, r = 37.7 cm.

The rate of rotation is, N = 2.73 rotations per second (rps)

The expression for the radial acceleration is given as,

[tex]a_{r}= \omega^{2} \times r[/tex]

here, [tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular velocity.

Since, 1 revolution = 2π radians.

Then angular velocity (in rad/s) is calculated as,

[tex]\omega = N \times 2 \pi\\\\ \omega = 2.73 \times 2 \pi\\\\ \omega =17.153 \;\rm rad/s[/tex]

Then the radial acceleration is calculated as,

[tex]a_{r} = (17.153)^{2} \times 37.7\\\\ a_{r}=11092.28 \;\rm cm/s^{2}[/tex]

Converting into m/s² as,

[tex]a_{r} = 11092.28 \times 0.01 \\\\ a_{r}=110.9 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the required value of the radial acceleration of a tack stuck in the tire is  [tex]110.9 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex].
