Question

Problem 95GP

A college campus features a large fountain surrounded by a circular pool. Two students start at the northernmost point of the pool and walk slowly around it in opposite directions. (a) If the angular speed of the student walking in the clockwise direction (as viewed from above) is 0.045 rad/s and the angular speed of the other student is 0.023 rad/s, how long does it take before they meet? (b) A t what angle, measured clockwise from due north, do the students meet? (c) If the difference in linear speed between the students is 0, 23 m/s, what is the radius of the fountain?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 10 problem number 105 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 95GPA college campus features a large fountain surrounded by a circular pool. Two students start at the northernmost point of the pool and walk slowly around it in opposite directions. (a) If the angular speed of the student walking in the clockwise direction (as viewed from above) is 0.045 rad/s and the angular speed of the other student is 0.023 rad/s, how long does it take before they meet? (b) A t what angle, measured clockwise from due north, do the students meet? (c) If the difference in linear speed between the students is 0, 23 m/s, what is the radius of the fountain?
From the textbook chapter Rotational Kinematics and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
