&&&& query modeling exercise
&&&& What is the distance between the peaks of the graph for which the angular velocity of the reference point is 3 rad / sec, and what are the maximum and minimum vertical coordinates if the circle is centered at vertical coordinate 12?
Your solution:
Confidence Assessment:
Given Solution:
** At 3 rad/sec a complete trip around the reference circle takes 2 pi / 3 seconds, close to but not exactly 2 seconds. 2 pi / 3 seconds is the distance between the peaks on the graph of y vs. t.
If the circle has radius 5 the max and min will be 5 units above and below the center of the circle, at 12 - 5 = 7 and 12 + 5 = 17. **

Confidence Assessment:
Given Solution:
** The center of the circle will be halfway between the max and min values, which can be found by averaging the two values (i.e., add and divide by 2).
The diameter will be the difference between the max and min values and the radius will be half of the diameter. **

Your solution:
Confidence Assessment:
Given Solution:
** If the period is 52 weeks then you have 2 pi / 52 cycles in a week or pi/26 cycles per week.
If the period is in months then you have 2 pi / 12 cycles per month, or pi/6 cycles per month.
The vertical coordinate of the center will be the day length midway between the min and max day lengths, which is 12 hours.**

Your solution:
Confidence Assessment:
Given Solution:
** The center will lie halfway between the highest and lowest levels.
At 5 waves per minute the angular frequency would be 5 periods / minute * 2 pi rad / period = 10 pi rad / min. **

&&&& query ch. 5 # 78 15 in wheels at 3 rev/sec. Speed in in/s and mph: rpm?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
Your solution:
Confidence Assessment:
Given Solution:
** If 15 inches is the diameter of the wheel then the radius is 15 inches.
The angular velocity is 3 rev / sec * 2 pi rad / rev = 6 pi rad / sec.
Each radian of angular displacement corresponds to a distance along the arc which is equal to the radius. So
6 pi rad / sec * 15 inches / radian = 90 pi inches / second.
If you approximate this you get around 280 in/sec.
This is 280 in / sec * 1 ft / 12 in = 23 ft / sec approx.
A mile is 5280 ft and an hour is 3600 sec so this is
23 ft/sec * 1 mile / 5280 ft * 3600 sec / 1 hr. = 16 miles / hr approx.. **
Note that 3 revolutions / second is 180 revolutions / minute, since there are 60 seconds in a minute.
