A wheel 2.0 m in diameter lies in the vertical plane and rotates about its central axis with a constant angular acceleration of 4.0 rad s⁻². The wheel starts at rest at t = 0 and the radius vector of a point A on the wheel makes an angle of 60º with the horizontal at this instant. Calculate the angular speed of the wheel, the angular position of the point A and the total acceleration at t = 2.0s.
Introduction This problem involves rotational motion with constant angular acceleration. We’re asked to find the angular speed, angular position, and total acceleration of a point on the rim of a rotating wheel after 2 seconds. Given Data Diameter of wheel = 2.0 m ⇒ Radius (r) = 1.0 m Angular acceleration (α) = 4.0 rad/s² […]
