AIRPLANE WHEEL 60 POINTS A APM 1000 A RPM after B seconds m
Solution
angular velocity = 1000 rpm or 104.72 rad/s
angular acceleration = angular velocity / time = 104.72 / 2 = 52.36 rad/s^2
angular displacement (theta) = 0.5 * angular acceleration * t^2
at t = 3s
angular displacement (theta) = 0.5 * 52.36 * 9 = 235.62 radians
angular displacement (theta) in revolutions = 235.62 / 2 * pi = 37.5 revolutions
horizontal velocity = angular velocity * radius of wheel
= 52.36 * 3 * 0.75/2 = 58.905 m/s
total kinetic energy = 0.5 m v^2 + 0.5 * I * w^2 ( I = m*R^2/2)
= 0.5 * 1.5 * 200 * 58.905^2 = 520.47 kJ
Torque applied to wheel = I * angular acceleration
= 200 * (0.75/2)^2 /2 * 52.36 = 736.3125 Nm
Power = Torque * angular velocity ( t= 3 sec)
= 736.3125 * 52.36 * 3 = 115.659 kW
