Convert 33 Rev/min to Velocity (m/sec): Radius 1.47m

AI Thread Summary
To convert 33 revolutions per minute to velocity in meters per second with a radius of 1.47 meters, the circumference is calculated as 2π times the radius, resulting in approximately 2.94 meters. The conversion involves multiplying the revolutions per minute by the circumference and then dividing by the number of seconds in a minute. The formula used is (33 rev/min) × (2.94π m/rev) ÷ 60 seconds/min. This calculation yields a velocity of approximately 3 meters per second. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between revolutions, circumference, and time for accurate conversion.

does anyone know how to convert 33 revolutions/minute to velocity (meter/sec) when the radius is 1.47 meters?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
1 rev is 2piRadius meters.
 
1. What distance has a given point on the rim traveled when it has made one revolution?
2. How many seconds are there in a minute?
 
If you have a radius of 1.47 m the circumference is π2.94.

So
\frac{22 rev}{minute} \times \frac{minute}{60 seconds} \times \frac{2.94 \pi m}{rev}
should get you your answer. (Approximately 3)
 
Thanks a lot for all of y'alls help!
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
