A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal for…

Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 48P

A circular saw spins at 5800 rpm, and its electronic brake is supposed to stop it in less than 2 s. As a quality-control specialist, you’re testing saws with a device that counts the number of blade revolutions. A particular saw turns 75 revolutions while stopping. Does it meet its specs?
