The Blades of a fan is rotating at the rate of 60 revolutions per minute. What are angular velocity and linear velocity of the tip of the Blade if the length of the blade from the axis is 0.5 m?
Given,
Frequency of rotation, f = 60 rpm = 1 rps
We know that,
Angular velocity = 2πf = 2×3.14×1 = 6.28 rad/s
Linear velocity = r×Angular velocity = 0.5×6.28 = 3.14 m/s.
