In a manufacturing process, a large, cylindrical roller is used to flatten material fed beneath it. The diameter of the roller is 4.00 m, and, while being driven into rotation around a fixed axis, its angular position is expressed as
θ = 2.10t2 − 0.850t3
where θ is in radians and t is in seconds.
(a) Find the maximum angular speed of the roller.
rad/s
(b) What is the maximum tangential speed of a point on the rim of
the roller?
m/s
(c) At what time t should the driving force be removed
from the roller so that the roller does not reverse its direction
of rotation?
s
(d) Through how many rotations has the roller turned between
t = 0
and the time found in part (c)?
rotations
