A fan makes 10 revolutions in 3 second which is just switched on. Considering uniform acceleration the number of revolution made by the fan in next 3 seconds is

  • 10
  • 20
  • 30
  • 40

Solutions:

we have, \theta = 2 \pi n where \theta is the angular displacement and n is the number of revolutions

from t=0 to t=3s, the fan made n =10 revolutions.

Applying equations of rotational motion:

    \[ \theta = \omega_0 t + \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2 \]

Initial angular velocity \omega_0 = 0 So,

    \[ 2 \pi n = 0 + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 \]

    \[2 \pi .10 = \frac{1}{2} \alpha 3^2\]

    \[ 40 \pi  = 9 \alpha\]

    \[\boxed{\alpha = \frac{40\pi}{9}}\]

Now lets find the number of revolutions made from t=0 to t=6s. Applying the same equations of rotational motions as before:

    \[\theta = \omega_0 t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\]

using \theta = 2 \pi n and \omega_0 = 0 We get,

    \[2 \pi n = \frac{1}{2} \alpha t^2\]

    \[2 \pi n = \frac{1}{2}. \frac{40\pi}{9}. 6^2\]

    \[n = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{20}{9}.36\]

    \[n = 40\]

number of revolution from t=0 to t=3s is 10

number of revolution from t=0 to t=6s is 40

hence, number of revolution made from t=3s to t=6s is (40-10) = 30

Ans: 30
