an electric fan is rotating at 3.0 rad/s when at time t=0 it begins to constantly accelerate at 2.00 rad/s^2. The initial linear acceleration of the edge of the spinning part of the fan has a magnitude of 1.30 m/s^2. What is the radius of the spinning part of the fan?
The linear acceleration is lincked with the angular one as follows:
where is the radius of the circle. Thus, since , obtain:
Answer. 0.650m.
