Concept explainers
At a given distance from the axis, how does linear (or tangential) speed change as rotational speed changes?
The relation between the linear speed and rotational speed for a given distance from the axis.
Answer to Problem 5A
For the fixed distance from the axis, the linear speed is directly proportional to the rotational speed.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A linear speed
Where,
As can be seen from above equation, if the distance from the axis is fixed, the linear speed changes linearly with the rotational speed.
Conclusion:
Hence, the linear speed and rotational speed are directly proportional to each other for the fixed distance from the axis.
