    How Long Does It Take for a Water Droplet to Move Radially on a Turbine?

    Homework Statement A water droplet condenses at r0=0.80 m. The turbine is rotating at a fixed speed of N RPM. You can treat the water droplet as a point mass of m=0.002 kg. Starting from rest at its formation point, it starts moving outward on the radial vane as shown. Its mass stays...

    Dynamics question: Angular Velocity/kinematics

    Hey NascentOxygen, thanks for the welcome :D To my knowledge the speed (in this case I'm assuming tangential speed.) is v=rw. So in this case v=2*15=30m/s. However I'm not certain if this is the right method. Edit: As it turns out when i previously attempted the question i did not use this...

    Dynamics question: Angular Velocity/kinematics

    A piece of stone of mass m is rotating at constant angular speed ω in the vertical plane about the point O as shown in the figure. A rope of length R connects the ball to O. If the rope breaks when the stone is at A, calculate how long it takes before the stone falls back to the same level...
