Answer:
13.37 rev/min
Explanation:
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s², centripetal acceleration ([tex]a_c[/tex]) = 1.8 * g = 1.8 * 9.8 m/s² = 17.64 m/s².
r = 9 m
Centripetal acceleration ([tex]a_c[/tex]) is given by:
[tex]a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} \\\\v=\sqrt{a_c*r} \\\\v=\sqrt{17.64\ m/s^2*9\ m}\\\\v=12.6\ m/s[/tex]
The velocity (v) is given by:
v = ωr; where ω is the angular velocity
Hence:
ω = v/r = 12.6 / 9
ω = 1.4 rad/s
ω = 2πN
N = ω/2π = 1.4 / 2π
N = 0.2228 rev/s
N = 13.37 rev/min
