The Attempt at a Solution
dean barry said:You've maybe put 0.12 m as the crank radius when it should be 0.06 m
r = crank radius = 0.06 metres
w = crank rotation rate = 376.99112 rad / sec
Find the tangential velocity (v) from :
v = w * r
v = 376.99112 * 0.06
v = 22.619 m/s (ANSWER b)
Find the centripetal acceleration (a) :
a = v ² / r
a = 8,527.338 (m/s)/s
The decelerating force (f) = m * a
f = 0.5 * 8,527.338 N
f = 4,263.67 N (ANSWER a)
