(a) angular speed = 59*2π=370.71 rad/min
(b)
r = 17 in = 17/12 ft
Linear Speed = 370.71*17/12 = 525.17 ft/min = 8.753 ft/sec
Gavin A.
asked 03/14/23A ceiling fan has 17-inch blades (so the radius of the circular fan is 17 inches). Suppose the fan turns at a rate of 59 revolutions per minute.
(a) Find the angular speed of the fan in radians per minute.
(b) Find the linear speed of the tip of a blade in feet per second.
