Speed and accleration of a turntable

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating various parameters of an electric turntable with a diameter of 0.740m, an initial angular velocity of 0.290 rad/s, and an angular acceleration of 0.900 rad/s². The first calculation seeks the angular velocity after 0.194 seconds, yielding a result of 0.465 rev/s. The second part determines the number of revolutions made in that time, which is 0.073 rev. Participants are struggling with the tangential speed and resultant acceleration calculations, specifically needing to convert revolutions to meters using the circumference. Clarification on these calculations is requested to resolve errors in the solutions provided.

Homework Statement



An electric turntable 0.740m in diameter is rotating about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 0.290rad/s . The angular acceleration is 0.900rad/s^2 .

a) Compute the angular velocity after a time of 0.194s. - .465rev/s

b) Through how many revolutions has the blade turned in this time interval? - .073rev

c) What is the tangential speed of a point on the tip of the blade at time t = 0.194s ?

d) What is the magnitude of the resultant acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade at time = 0.194 ?

Homework Equations



v = r\omega

arad = \omega^2r

atan = r\alpha


The Attempt at a Solution



for part c)

v = (.740/2)(.465) = .172m/s wrong

for part d)

arad = (.465)^2(.740/2) = .0800m/s^2

atan = (.740/2)(.900) = .333m/s^2

a = (.0800^2 + .333^2)^(1/2) = .342m/s^2 wrong

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help is appreciated.

For part C it seems as if you need to do is convert the revs to meters. To do this you need to know the circumference (which would be the distance "unrolled" after 1 revolution)
 
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...
