Question
Security Camera A security camera is centered 50 feet above a 100-foot hallway (see figure). It is easiest to design the camera with a constant angular rate of rotation, but this results in a variable rate at which the images of the surveillance area are recorded. So, it is desirable to design a system with a variable rate of rotation and a constant rate of movement of the scanning beam along the hallway. Find a model for the variable rate of rotation if feet per second. 21xy
Solution
The first step in solving 2.6 problem number 49 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Security Camera A security camera is centered 50 feet above a 100-foot hallway (see figure). It is easiest to design the camera with a constant angular rate of rotation, but this results in a variable rate at which the images of the surveillance area are recorded. So, it is desirable to design a system with a variable rate of rotation and a constant rate of movement of the scanning beam along the hallway.
