The centripetal acceleration of the tip of the fan blade is 96.23 m/s²
What is centripetal acceleration?
The acceleration developed when a body is moving in circular way, directed towards the center of the circular path.
The tip of a fan blade is 0.61 m from the center of the fan. the fan turns at a constant speed and completes 2 rotations every 1.0 s
ac = ω²r
where ω = angular speed = 2πN/60, N = Rotation per minute
From the question, N = 2 x 60/1 = 120 RPM
So, the angular speed will be
ω = 2π x 120 /60
ω = 12.56 rad/s
Then, the centripetal acceleration is
ac = (12.56)² x 0.61 m
ac = 96.23 m/s²
Thus, centripetal acceleration of the tip of the fan blade is 96.23 m/s²
