At a given rotational speed, how does linear (or tangential) speed change as the distance from the axis changes?
The relation between the linear speed and the distance from the axis for a given rotational speed.
Answer to Problem 6A
For the given rotational speed, the linear speed is directly proportional to the distance from the changes.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A linear speed
Where,
As can be seen from above equation, if the rotational speed is fixed, then the tangential speed changes linearly as the distance from the axis changes.
Conclusion:
Hence, the linear speed and the distance from the axis are directly proportional to each other for the given rotational speed.
