A rotating fan completes 1200revolutions every minute. Consider the tip of a blade, at a radius of 0.15 m. (a)Through what distance does the tip move in one revolution? What are (b) the tip’s speed and (c) the magnitude of its acceleration? (d) What is the period of the motion?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The distance travelled by the tip in one revolution is 0.94m
  2. The speed of tip during revolution is 19 m/s
  3. Magnitude of tip’s acceleration is 2,4×103m/s2
  4. Period of motion is 0.05s .

Step by step solution

01

Given

The frequency of fan is 1200 revolutions per minute.

Distance of center of axis and tip’s blade is r = 0.15 m.

02

Understanding the concept

It is given that the fan completes certain revolutions in a particular time with the given radius of the blade. So, we have to find the distance covered by the blade in one revolution. The speed and acceleration of tip can be found by using simple formulae.

Formulae:

Circumferenceofcircle,C=2ττrvelocity=distancetimeAcceleration,a=v2rfrequency=1time

03

(a) Calculate the distance covered by tip of fan in one revolution

Let’s take the radius of the circle for calculating the distance covered by the tip of fan in one revolution.

Tip of the fan covers the distance equal to its circumference in its revolution.

So, the circumference of the circle is

C=2ττr=2(3.14)(0.15m)=0.94m

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is 0.94m.

 Step 4: (b) Calculatethe speed of the tip

We are giventhefrequency ofthefan, so we can find out its time. By using this value, we find its speed

Frequency=1timetime=1frequency=11200rev/min×60s=0.05s

Now we can usevelocity=distancetimeto find velocity.

velocity=distancetime=0.94m0.05s=18.8m/s

Therefore, the velocity is 18.8 m/s.

05

(c) Calculate the magnitude of acceleration.

As the motion is circular, theobject has centripetal acceleration and is given by

a=v2r=(18.8m/s)20.15m=2.356×103m/s2≈2.4×103m/s2

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the fan is equal to 2.4×103m/s2.

06

(d) Calculate the time period of motion.

We are giventhefrequency ofthefan, so we can find out its time. By using this value, we find its speed

Frequency=1timetime=1frequency=11200×60s=0.05s

Therefore, the time period of motion is 0.05 s.
