following:
a) Angular momentum of the steam turbine fan
b) Power of the steam turbine fan.
c) The torque acting on the steam turbine fan.
d) Kinetic energy of the steam turbine fan.
2. An airplane propeller is rotating at 1900 rpm (rev/min). (a) Compute the propeller's angular velocity
in rad/s. (b) How many seconds does it take for the propeller to turn through 35°? (Ans. (a) w=199 rad/s,
(b) t=3.1 x 10³)
3. Find the moment of inertia of a hoop (a thin-walled, hollow ring) with mass M and radius R about an
axis perpendicular to the hoop's plane at an edge. (Ans. I=2MR²)
4. A flywheel has angular acceleration α₂(t) = 8.60 rad - (2.30 rad) t, where counterclockwise
rotation is positive. (a) If the flywheel is at rest at t = 0, what is its angular velocity at 5.00 s? (b)
