Kinematics Question 557

Question: When a ceiling fan is switched off it’s angular velocity reduces to 50% while it makes 36 rotations.How many more rotation will it make before coming to rest (Assume uniform angular retardation)[KCET 2001]

Options:

A) 18

B)12

C) 36

D) 48

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

By using equationω2=ω022αθ

(ω02)2=ω022α(2πn)

therefore α=34ω024π×36 , (n = 36) ..(i)

Now let fan completes total n¢ revolution from the starting to come to rest 0=ω022α(2πn)

therefore n=ω024απ

substituting the value of a from equation (i) n=ω024π4×4π×363ω02=48

revolution Number of rotation = 48 - 36 = 12
