Problem 16-2

Just after the fan is turned on, the motor gives the blade an angular acceleration = 20e0.6t rad/s2 , where t is in seconds. Determine the speed of the tip P of one of the blades when t = 3 s. How many revolutions has the blade turned in 3s? When t = 0 the blade is at rest.

Equations
= d dt v = r (1) (2)

Solution
Since = d/dt, we nd by integrating
t t t 0

(t) =
0

dt =
0

20e0.6t dt =

100 0.6t e 3

100 (t) = 1 e0.6t 3 Next, by (2), we have v(t) = (t) r 100 1 e0.6t (1.75) ft/s v(t) = 3 Solve using SAGE We can easily dene this in SAGE with the following code1 :

(3)

1 Note to grader: this will be the norm from now on. That is for the most part, Im just going going to include A my SAGE code and then typeset my answers. Actually, to be more specic, the SAGE-tex package for L TEXallows A me to call SAGE from within L TEX, so the type-set answers are directly from SAGE.

#given alpha(t) = 20*exp(-0.6*t) r = 1.75

#rad/s^2 #ft

#define omega omega(t) = alpha.integrate(t,0,t) SAGE gives

#rad/s

(t) = 33.3333333333 e(0.6 t) + 33.3333333333 So (3) = 27.82 rad/s Next we dene velocity v(t) = omega(t)*r #ft/s v(3) = 48.69 ft/s
