(II) Digital bits on a 12.0-cm diameter audio CD are encoded
along an outward spiraling path that starts at radius
R = 2.5 cm and finishes at radius R, = 5.8 cm. The
distance between the centers of neighboring spiral-
windings is 1.6 um (= 1.6 × 10-º m). (a) Determine the
total length of the spiraling path. [Hint: Imagine "unwinding"
the spiral into a straight path of width 1.6 µm, and note
that the original spiral and the straight path both occupy
the same area.] (b) To read information, a CD player
adjusts the rotation of the CD so that the player's readout
laser moves along the spiral path at a constant speed of
about 1.2 m/s. Estimate the maximum playing time of such
a CD.
