A sling with a length of 60 cm does 6 rotations per second. What is the speed that the stone at the end of the sling is travelling?
Given,
Length of the sling,
The number of rotations made by the sling in one second = 6
The total angle made by the sling in one-second,
Since the angle made by the sling in one second is 37.68 radians hence the angular speed of the stone is 37.68 rad/s.
Now, from the relation of angular speed and linear speed,
where is angular speed, v is linear speed and r is the length of the sling.
Hence the linear speed of the stone is 22.608 m/s.
