Answer:
the centripetal acceleration at a point that is 0.0897 m from the center of the disc is 1143.8 m/s²
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
centripetal acceleration a[tex]_c[/tex]₁ = 241 m/s²
radius r₁ = 0.0189 m
radius r₂ = 0.0897 m
centripetal acceleration a[tex]_c[/tex]₂ = ? m/s²
since the rotational period will be the same for the two disk,
we use the centripetal acceleration formula a[tex]_c[/tex] = (4π²r/T²) to find the rotational period for the first disk.
a[tex]_c[/tex]₁ = (4π²r₁/T²)
make T² subject of formula
T² = 4π²r₁ / a[tex]_c[/tex]₁
we substitute
T² = ( 4 × π² × 0.0189 ) / 241
T² = 0.00309602528 s²
Now we use the same formula to find a[tex]_c[/tex]₂
a[tex]_c[/tex]₂ = ( 4π²r₂ / T² )
we substitute
a[tex]_c[/tex]₂ = ( 4 × π² × 0.0897 ) / 0.00309602528
a[tex]_c[/tex]₂ = 1143.8 m/s²
Therefore, the centripetal acceleration at a point that is 0.0897 m from the center of the disc is 1143.8 m/s²
