Question #307103

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 aa is lincked with the angular one α\alpha as follows:


a=rαa = r\alpha

where rr is the radius of the circle. Thus, since a=1.3m/s2,α=2rad/s2a= 1.3m/s^2, \alpha = 2rad/s^2, obtain:


r=1.32=0.650mr = \dfrac{1.3}{2} = 0.650m

Answer. 0.650m.
