Atthis point, the person doing the laundry opens the lid, anda safety switch turns off the washer. The tub slows to rest in12.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the tub turn duringthe entire 20-s interval? Assume constant angular accelerationwhile it is starting and stopping.
Casting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes.Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes,bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosureis rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as inFigure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinderand then cooled, forming the finished product. Turningthe cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metalstrongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward theaxis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outerradius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and givehigh structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of eachbit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required?State the answer in revolutions per minute.
