Answer:
Part a)
t = 1.05 s
Part b)
[tex]\theta = 8.78 rad[/tex]
Explanation:
Initial angular speed is given as
[tex]\omega_i = 40 rev/min = 0.66 rev/s[/tex]
[tex]\omega_i = 2\pi (0.66) = 4.19 rad/s[/tex]
angular acceleration is given as
[tex]\alpha = 8 rad/s^2[/tex]
now we have
part a)
final angular speed = 120 rev/min
[tex]\omega_f = 2\pi(\frac{120}{60} rev/s)[/tex]
[tex]\omega_f = 12.57 rad/s[/tex]
now by kinematics we have
[tex]\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t[/tex]
[tex]12.57 = 4.19 + 8 t[/tex]
[tex] t = 1.05 s[/tex]
Part b)
Angle turned by the blades is given by
[tex]\theta = \omega_i t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2[/tex]
[tex]\theta = 4.19(1.05) + \frac{1}{2}(8)(1.05)^2[/tex]
[tex]\theta = 8.78 rad[/tex]
