    The acceleration of a point on the rim of flywheel 1 m in diameter, if it makes 1200 revolutions per minute is

    A)  \[\text{87}{{\pi }^{\text{2}}}\text{ m}/{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\]

    B)  \[\text{8}0\text{ }{{\pi }^{\text{2}}}\text{ m}/{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\]

    C)  \[\text{8}00\text{ }{{\pi }^{\text{2}}}\text{ m}/{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}\]  

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Given:  \[n=1200\,\,re/\min \]             \[=\frac{1200}{60}=20\,\,rev/s\]           \[\omega =2\pi r=2\pi \times 20=40\pi \,\,rad/\sec \] \[\therefore \]Centripetal acceleration,         \[a=r{{\omega }^{2}}\]             \[=\frac{1}{2}\times {{(40\pi )}^{2}}=\mathbf{800}{{\mathbf{\pi }}^{\mathbf{2}}}\mathbf{m/}{{\mathbf{s}}^{\mathbf{2}}}\]
