Question
A person walks into a room and switches on the ceiling fan. The
fan accelerates with constant
it reaches its operating angular speed of 1.9 rotations>s—after
that its speed remains constant as long as the switch is “on.” The
person stays in the room for a short time; then, 5.5 minutes after
turning the fan on, she switches it off again and leaves the room.
The fan now decelerates with constant angular acceleration, taking 2.4 minutes to come to rest. What is the total number of revolutions made by the fan, from the time it was turned on until the
time it stopped?
