The tape in a videotape cassette has a total length 240 m and can play for 2.1 h. As the tape starts to play, the full reel has an outer radius of 47 mm and an inner radius of 11 mm. At some point during the play, both reels will have the same angular speed. What is this common angular speed?

Respuesta :

Answer:

.94 rad/s

Explanation:

Total length of videotape = 240 m

Total time of play = 2.1 h -> 7560s

- Linear speed of the video tape is given as:

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{240}{7560} = .032 m/s[/tex]

- we know that:

[tex]v = rw[/tex]

Since we know that both reels have the same speed,

[tex]r = \sqrt{\frac{ro^{2} + ri^{2} }{2} }[/tex]

[tex]r = \sqrt{\frac{47^{2} + 11^{2} }{2} } = 34.13 mm -> .03413 m\\[/tex]

now, we incorporate v = rw to find w

[tex].032 = .03413w\\w = \frac{.032}{.03413} = .94 rad/s[/tex]

Both reels will have the same angular speed of 0.930 rad/s.

Given data:

The total length of videotape cassette is, L = 240 m.

The time interval for the play is, [tex]t = 2.1 \;\rm h = 2.1 \times 3600 =7560 \;\rm s[/tex]

The outer radius of tape is, [tex]r_{o}=47 \;\rm mm[/tex].

The inner radius of tape is, [tex]r_{i}=11 \;\rm mm[/tex].

The videotape will undergo rotational motion and the value of angular velocity is given as,

[tex]\omega =\dfrac{v}{r}[/tex] ....................................................................(1)

Here, v is the linear speed of the cassette and r is the effective radius of the cassette, and its value is,

[tex]r = \sqrt{\dfrac{r^{2}_{o}+r^{2}_{i}}{2}} \\\\r = \sqrt{\dfrac{47^{2}+11^{2}}{2}} \\\\r = 34.13 \;\rm mm\\\\r \approx 0.03413 \;\rm m[/tex]

And, the linear speed of the cassette is given as,

 [tex]v=\dfrac{L}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{240}{7560}\\\\v=0.0317 \;\rm m/s[/tex]

Substitute the values in equation (1) as,

[tex]\omega =\dfrac{0.0317}{0.03413}\\\\ \omega = 0.930 \;\rm rad/s[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that at some point during the play, both reels will have the same angular speed of 0.930 rad/s.
