**Problem 11: Velocity and Acceleration of Helicopter Rotor Blades**The largest helicopter ever built in the United States was the Sikorski CH-53E "Super Stallion". The four blades of its main rotors each have a radius of 24.1 meters. If the rotors are turning at 50 revolutions per minute (rpm), calculate the velocity at the tip of the blade and the acceleration. Present your answer for the acceleration in both meters per second squared (m/s²) and as a multiple of the acceleration due to gravity (g).**Given:**- Radius of the rotor blades: \( r = 24.1 \, \text{m} \)- Rotational speed: \( \omega = 50 \, \text{rpm} \)**To Find:**1. Velocity at the tip of the blade (v)2. Acceleration at the tip of the blade (a) - In m/s² - As a multiple of \( g \) **Explanation of Diagrams or Graphs:**There are no diagrams or graphs accompanying this problem statement.

4. Harnessing wind power has become an effective alternative to finding and refining fossil fuels. These wind turbines are now found all over Ontario. One of these turbines has a blade with an 8 metre diameter. The maximum height from the ground to the tip of the blade is 26 m. At an average wind speed, the blade makes 20 rotations every minute. Assuming that the tip of the blade starts at the lowest point, determine an equation for the height versus time.
