Answer:
2.51 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Angular speed of a fan, [tex]\omega=0.5\ rev/s = 3.14\ rad/s[/tex]
Length of the fan arm, r = 0.8 m
We need to find the speed of a point on the end of the fan arm at this time. Let v is the speed. It is given in terms of angular speed is given by :
[tex]v=r\omega\\\\v=0.8\times 3.14\\\\v=2.51\ m/s[/tex]
So, the required speed is 2.51 m/s.
