Chinook, a military helicopter, has two three-blade rotor systems, each turning in opposite directions. Each blade has a diameter of approximaterly 41 ft. 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 ft/s, mph, m/s, and km/h.
Angular speed, acceleration and displacement
Angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change in angular velocity with respect to time. It has both magnitude and direction. So, it is a vector quantity.
Angular Position
Before diving into angular position, one should understand the basics of position and its importance along with usage in day-to-day life. When one talks of position, it’s always relative with respect to some other object. For example, position of earth with respect to sun, position of school with respect to house, etc. Angular position is the rotational analogue of linear position.
