A disc rotates about its axis with a constant angular acceleration of 4 rads2. Find the radial and tangential accelerations of a particle at a distance of 1 cm from the axis at the end of the first second after the disc starts rotating.
t = 1 sec, r = 1 cm = 0.01 m
a = 4 rds2
Therefore ω = at = 4 rads
Therefore radial acceleration,
An = ω2r = 0.16 ms2 = 16 cms2
Therefore tangential acceleration, ar = ar = 0.04 ms2 = 4 cms2.
