An airplane is flying in a straight line with a velocity of 200 mi/h and an acceleration of 3 mi/h2. If the propeller has a diameter of 6 ft and is rotating at an angular rate of 120 rad/s, determine the magnitudes of velocity and acceleration of a particle located on the tip of the propeller.

    464.373 ft / s, 43200 ft/s²

    Explanation:

    200 mi/h = 293.333 ft/s

    3 mi/h² = 3 * (1 ft / s² / 2454.5454) = 0.0012222 = acceleration of the airplane

    velocity of the rotating propeller Vr = ωr where ω is the angular rate = 120 rad/s and the radius = 6 ft / 2 = 3 ft = 120 * 3 = 360 ft / s

    Velocity of the particle = resultant of the velocities = √ (293.333² + 360²) = 464.373 ft / s

    centripetal acceleration = Vr² / r = 360² / 3 = 43200 ft/s²

    acceleration of the particle = resultant accelerations = √ (0.001222² + 43200²) = 43200 ft/s²
