CALC On a compact disc (CD), music is coded in a pattern of tins pits arranged in a track that spirals outward toward the rim of the disc. As the disc spins inside a CD player, the track is scanned at a constant linear speed of υ = l.25m/s. Because the radius of the track varies as it spirals outward, the angular speed of the disc must change as the CD is played. (See Exercise 9.20.) Let’s see what angular acceleration is required to keep υ constant. The equation of a spiral is r ( θ ) = r 0 + βθ , where r 0 is the radius of the spiral at θ = 0 and β is a constant. On a CD, r 0 is the inner radius of the spiral track. If we take the rotation direction of the CD to be positive, β must be positive so that r increases as the disc turns and θ increases (a) When the disc rotates through a small angle dθ , the distance scanned along the track is ds = rdθ . Using the above expression for r ( θ ), integrate ds to find the total distance s scanned along the track as a function of the total angle θ through which the disc has rotated. (b) Since the track is scanned at a constant linear speed υ , the distance s found in part (a) is equal to υt . Use this to find θ as a function of time. There will be two solutions for θ ; choose the positive one, and explain why this is the solution to choose. (c) Use your expression for θ ( t ) to find the angular velocity ω z and the angular acceleration α z as functions of time. Is α z constant? (d) On a CD, the inner radius of the track is 25.0 mm. the track radius increases by 1.55 μ m per revolution, and the playing time is 74.0 min. Find r 0 , β , and the total number of revolutions made during the playing time, (e) Using your results from parts (c) and (d), make graphs of ω z (in rad/s) versus t and α z (in rad/s 2 ) versus t between t = 0 and t = 74.0 min.

Definition Definition Rate of change of angular velocity. Angular acceleration indicates how fast the angular velocity changes over time. It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction. Magnitude is represented by the length of the vector and direction is represented by the right-hand thumb rule. An angular acceleration vector will be always perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Angular acceleration is generally denoted by the Greek letter α and its SI unit is rad/s 2 .
A compact disc (CD) stores music in a coded pattern of tiny pits 10−7m deep. The pits are arranged in a track that spirals outward toward the rim of the disc; the inner and outer radii of this spiral are 25.0 mm and 58.0 mm, respectively. As the disc spins inside a CD player, the track is scanned at a constant linear speed of 1.25 m/s. Part AWhat is the angular speed of the CD when scanning the innermost part of the track?
Part BWhat is the angular speed of the CD when scanning the outermost part of the track? Part CThe maximum playing time of a CD is 74.0 min. What would be the length of the track on such a maximum-duration CD if it were stretched out in a straight line?
Part DWhat is the average angular acceleration of a maximum-duration CD during its 74.0-min playing time? Take the direction of rotation of the disc to be positive.
Chinook, a military helicopter, has two three-blade rotor systems, each turning in opposite directions. Each blade has a diameter of approximaterly 12.5 m. The blades can spin at angular speeds of up to 225 rpm. Determine the translational speed of a particle located at the tip of a blade. Express your answer in m/s, and km/h.

passengers it is given a uniform angular acceleration for 20 s then runs at uniforrm angular
speed for 2 minutes as main ride. It then slows down at a uniform rate over a further 10 s.
During the main part of the ride, the wheel completes 1 revolution every 10 s.
