How Do You Calculate Angular Speed from Revolutions Per Second?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating angular speed from a given rate of revolutions per second, specifically for a grindstone spinning at 8.3 revolutions per second.

Discussion Character

  • Mathematical reasoning

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the conversion of revolutions per second to angular speed in radians per second, with one participant providing a calculation method using the formula involving π.

Discussion Status

Some participants confirm the correctness of the calculation provided, while others reiterate the original question without introducing new perspectives. There appears to be a general agreement on the method used, but no explicit consensus on the final answer is reached.

Contextual Notes

Participants are working within the constraints of a homework problem, and the original poster seeks validation of their calculation without additional context or information about the problem setup.

just hoping to get this double checked:

10. A grindstone spinning at the rate of 8.3 rev/s has what approximate angular speed?



a. 3.2 rad/s

b. 26 rad/s

c. 52 rad/s

d. 81 rad/s



answer: C, I simply did ; 2*π*8.3 rad/s = 52.1 rad/s. is this correct?

2 x 3.14 x 8.3 = 52.124
52 rad/s
i think so
