A propeller consists of two blades each 3.6 m in length and mass 108 kg each. The propeller can be approximated by a single rod rotating about its center of mass. The propeller starts from rest and rotates up to 1,210 rpm in 30 seconds at a constant rate. (Enter the magnitudes.) What is the angular momentum (in kg · m2/s) of the propeller at t = 10 s?
To solve this problem , first we will calculate the Moment of Inertia of the Propeller.We will consider the propeller as a rod rotating around one of it's extreme . Then we will be calculating the angular acceleration of the propeller . From this we will calculate the Angular Momentum at t= 10 s using the formula
Therefore,
Angular Momentum at t= 10 s is 3.94 x 104 kg m2s-1
Hope this Helps!!
