In the spin cycle of a washing machine, the tub of radius 0.44 m rotates at a constant rate
of 705 rev/min. What is the maximum linear speed of the water inside the machine?

The highest linear speed if the water can be reached at the walls of the tub (r=0.44) ω =2*π*705 rev/min =2*π* 11.75 rev/sec. According to the equations of the rotational motion: V = ω *r =2*π*11.75 * 0.44 = 32.48 m/s
