Angular velocity of an airplane propeller

AI Thread Summary
The airplane propeller rotates at 1900 revolutions per minute (rev/min). To convert this to angular velocity, the formula used is 1 rev/min = 2π/60 rad/s. The calculation yields an angular velocity of 3800π/60 rad/s, which is confirmed to be correct. It is suggested to compute the actual numerical value for clarity. The discussion emphasizes the importance of presenting the result in a more usable form.

Homework Statement


An airplane propeller is rotating at 1900 rev/min. Compute the propellers angular velocity.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


I know 1rev/min= 2pi/60 rad/s so i multiplies 2pi by 1900 and got my answer to be 3800pi/60 rad/s but idk if that's correct? someone please check.

yes, it is right.
Just maybe don't leave it as 3800pi/60, but compute the actual value.
(But I'm sure you were going to do it anyway)
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
