Drill problem, linear speed of drill bit help

Click For Summary
To find the maximum linear speed of a 12.7mm diameter drill bit turning at 1250 rev/min, first convert the revolutions to radians per second, which is approximately 130.9 rad/s. The maximum linear speed can be calculated using the circumference of the bit and the rotation rate. The maximum radial acceleration is determined by the angular velocity and the radius of the drill bit. Understanding angular velocity and acceleration is crucial for solving the problem accurately. Proper calculations will yield the desired results for both linear speed and radial acceleration.

Drill problem, linear speed of drill bit help please

1. For a 12.7mm diameter drill bit turning at a constant 1250 rev/min find a) the maximum linear speed of any part of the bit; b) the maximum radial acceleration of any part of the bit



2. i switched the revs per minutes into 130.9 rads per sec but other than that i really have no clue what is going on or how to start so if anyone can give me hint as of where to start the actual problem would really appreciate it ty.

The maximum linear speed is presumably just the speed of a point on the circumference?
So you need the circumference of the bit and the rotation rate

The angular velocity is just rate of change of angle (ie deg/sec or rad/sec)
The angular acceleration is rate of change of this with time - ie the 2nd differential.
 
Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
