Homework help : What object rotates at 90 RPM?

Click For Summary
An object with an angular velocity of 3π radians per second translates to approximately 90 RPM. To identify such an object, it's suggested to convert the angular velocity into more common units and conduct a Google search for "90 RPM." Participants are encouraged to demonstrate their effort in solving the problem before seeking assistance. The discussion emphasizes the importance of research and conversion in understanding angular velocity. Engaging with the problem through these methods can lead to identifying suitable objects that rotate at this speed.

What do you think? Per the forum rules, you must show that you've put some effort into the problem before getting help.

As per the instructions, try converting the 3 \pi \ \mathrm{\frac{rad}{sec}} to more common, everyday units. Then do a google search. See what you come up with.
 
I apologize, I’m new to the forum but this is what I’ve gotten so far, I am not able to identify an object that has an RPMof 90.

Okay, good so far.

Type in "90 rpm" into google search, and see what hits you get.

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)...
