Homework Equations
F=ma
v=d/t
centripetal accel=v^2/r
basic circle formulas
The Attempt at a Solution
Firstly to figure the rot/sec of the rod
2040/8= 255 rotations per second
Then multiplying the 255 rotations by the circumference of the bolt to find the velocity
2pi(.036m)= .226 m
.226*255=57.63 m/s
Using the centripetal acceleration formula to find acceleration
57.63^2/.226= 14695.65 m/s/s
Using F=ma
F=.032kg(14695.65 m/s/s)
F=470.26 N
