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.

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...
