Answer:
1.82 rad/s².
Explanation:
Applying,
α = (ω₂-ω₁)/t..................... Equation 1
Where α = angular acceleration of the fan blades, ω₂ = final angular velocity of the fan blades, ω₁ = initial angular velocity of the fan blades, t = time.
Given: ω₂ = 350 rpm = (350×0.1047) rad/s = 36.645 rad/s. ω₁ = 250 rpm = (250×0.1047) rad/s = 26.175 rad/s, t = 5.75 s.
Substitute into equation 1
α = (36.645-26.175)/5.75
α = 10.47/5.75
α = 1.82 rad/s².
Hence the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the fan blades = 1.82 rad/s²
