A steel beam is rotated in a horizontal plane to provide the centripetal acceleration for training pilots. If the pilot sits 2.19 m from the center of rotation, at what speed must he rotate in order to experience a horizontal centripetal acceleration of 65.8 m/s/s?

Given :

Pilot sits 2.19 m from the center of rotation.

Horizontal centripetal acceleration is 65.8 m/s².

To Find :

The angular velocity of the pilot .

Solution :

We know, centripetal acceleration is given by :

Hence, this is the required solution.

answer: the potential energy decreases from 379 j to 243 j

explanation:

for the law of conservation of energy, the total energy in a system must be conserved. the total energy of the system is given by the sum of kinetic (k) and potential (u) energy:

e = k + u

the total energy is e=675 j, and this does not change.

initially, the kinetic energy is k=296 j, so the potential energy is

at the end, the kinetic energy is k=432 j, so the potential energy is

so, we see that the potential energy has decreased from 379 j to 243 j.
