Answer:
Explanation:
The magnitude of the acceleration makes an angle of 30° with the tangential velocity.
Resolving the acceleration to tangential and radial acceleration
at = aCos30 = √3a/2
ar = aSin30 = ½a
a = 2•ar
Then, the tangential acceleration is the linear acceleration, so the relationship between the tangential acceleration and angular acceleration is given as:
at = Rα
Then, α = at/R
since at = √3a/2
Then, α = √3 at/2R, equation 1
The radial acceleration is given as
ar = ω²R
Note that, at² + ar² = a²
at = √(a²-ar²)
Back to equation 1
α = √3 at/2R
α = √3√(a²-ar²)/2R
α = √3√(a²-(w²R)²)/2R
α = √3(a²-w⁴R²) / 2R
Also, a = 2•ar = 2w²R
Then,
α = √3((2w²R)²-w⁴R²) / 2R
α = √3(4w⁴R²-w⁴R²) / 2R
α = √3(3w⁴R²) / 2R
α = √9w⁴R² / 2R
α = 3w²R / 2R
α = 3w²/2
