A model of a helicopter rotor has four blades, each of length 3.80 m from the central shaft to the blade tip. The model is rotated in a wind tunnel at a rotational speed of 450 rev/min.a. What is the linear speed of the blade tip?b. What is the radial acceleration of the blade tip expressed as a multiple of the acceleration of gravity?

Answer:

a)V= 179.056 m/s

b)[tex]a_{r}=843.71 g \ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

Length of blade = 3.8 m

Rotational speed N= 450 rev/min

We know that

[tex]\omega =\dfrac{2\pi N}{60}\ \frac{rad}{s}[/tex]

[tex]\omega =\dfrac{2\pi \times 450}{60}\ \frac{rad}{s}[/tex]

  ω=47.12 rad/s

Linear velocity

We know that linear velocity V =  ω x r

Here r = 3.8 m

So by putting the values

V =  ω x r

V = 47.12  x 3.8 m/s

V= 179.056 m/s

Radial acceleration  

[tex]a_{r}=\omega ^2r\ m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]a_{r}=47.12^2\times 3.8 \ m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]a_{r}=8437.12 \ m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]a_{r}=843.71 g \ m/s^2[/tex]
