What is the RATE of Rotation! help!
An automatic tumble dryer has a 0.65m diamter basket that rotates about a horizontal axis. As the basket turns, the clothes fall away from the basket's edge and tubmle over. IF the colthes fall away from the basket at a point 60 degrees from the vertical, what is the rate of rotation in units of revolutions per minute.
i thought this problem would be extremely simple.
I was wrong :)
First i get
V^2 / rg = tan theta
so i get
Vc^2 = rg tan theta
soif ifind Vc i get 1.785
Now this wouldn't make snese...
does someone else have a different Apporpach
