A sock stuck to the side of a clothes-dryer barrel has a centripetal acceleration of
28m/s?. If the dryer barrel has a radius of 27.5cm, what is the tangential speed of the
sock?

Answer:

Tangential speed, V = 2.78 m/s.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Centripetal acceleration = 28m/s²

Radius = 27.5cm to meters = 27.5/100 = 0.275 meters

To find the tangential speed;

Centripetal acceleration = V²/r

Substituting into the formula, we have;

28 = V²/0.275

V² = 28 * 0.275

V² = 7.7

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

Tangential speed, V = 2.78 m/s.

The tangential speed of the sock will be 7.7 m/sec².Tangential speed is  as the linear speed of any object travelling along a circular route.

What is tangential speed ?

Tangential speed is defined as the linear speed of any item travelling along a circular route.

A point on the outside edge of a turntable travels further in one complete rotation than a point towards the center.

The given data in he problem is;

a is the  centripetal acceleration =28m/s?

r is the  radius of 27.5cm

v is  the tangential speed of the sock=?

[tex]\rm a= \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\ \rm v= \sqrt{ar} \\\\ \rm v= \sqrt{28 \times 0.275 } \\\\ \rm v=7.7 \ m/sec^2[/tex]

Hence the tangential speed of the sock will be 7.7 m/sec².
