Question

Problem 37P

When a compact disk with a 12.0-cm diameter is rotating at 5.05 rad/s, what are (a) the linear speed and (b) the centripetal acceleration of a point on its outer rim? (c) Consider a point on the CD that is halfway between its center and its outer rim. Without repeating all of the calculations required for parts (a) and (b), determine the linear speed and the centripetal acceleration of this point.

Solution

Step 1 of 4

Part a

We are required to calculate the linear speed of the compact disk.

Given:
