Homework help : What object rotates at 90 RPM?

AI Thread 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.

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
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...
