How many radians does the airplane propeller rotate in 190/3 pi seconds?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the rotation of an airplane propeller in radians over a time period of \( \frac{190}{3} \pi \) seconds. Participants confirm the correctness of the calculations, emphasizing the need for precise values. The key takeaway is that the propeller rotates \( \frac{190}{3} \pi \) radians, which translates to approximately 35 degrees, indicating a relatively small angle for the number of rotations involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of radians and degrees conversion
  • Basic knowledge of angular motion
  • Familiarity with mathematical expressions involving pi
  • Ability to perform calculations with fractions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the relationship between radians and degrees in depth
  • Learn about angular velocity and its applications in aviation
  • Explore the mathematical principles behind rotational motion
  • Investigate the significance of precise measurements in engineering contexts
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, aviation engineers, physics students, and anyone interested in the principles of rotational dynamics and angular measurements.

OK, want to see if I am using the use of rad properly here
the answer seems very small. but 35 degrees isn't much for all the rotations.

Answer not in book so hope these are correct..

thanks ahead.

Looks good to me! (Sun)

Your answers are correct, but I would give exact values instead:

a) $$\frac{190}{3}\pi\text{ rad}$$

b) $$\frac{7}{2280}\text{ s}$$
