The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.01 m in diameter.   (a)What is its angular velocity in radians per second if it spins at 1000 rev/min? (Answer in rad/s)     (b)What is the linear speed (in m/s) of its tip at this angular velocity if the plane is stationary on the tarmac? (Answer in m/s)     (c)What is the centripetal acceleration of the propeller tip under these conditions? Calculate it in meters per second squared and convert to multiples of g.   - centripetal acceleration in m/s2 - centripetal acceleration in g
