Concept explainers
Problems 62 and 63 are paired.
62. C A disk is rotating around a fixed axis that passes through its center and is perpendicular to the face of the disk. Consider a point on the rim of the disk (point R) and another point halfway between the center and the rim (point H) at one particular instant. a. How does the angular speed v of the disk at point H compare with the angular speed of the disk at point R? b. How does the tangential speed of the disk at point H compare with the tangential speed of the disk at point R? c. Suppose we pick a point H on the disk at random (by throwing a dart, for example), and we compare the speeds at that point with the speeds at point R. How will the answers to parts (a) and (b) be different? Explain.
