Question

(Figure 1) shows the angular position of a potter's wheel. Part A What is the angular displacement of the wheel between t = 5 s and t = 15 s? Express your answer in radians.

Part B What is the angular velocity of the wheel at 15 s? Express your answer in radians per second.

Part C What is the maximum speed of a point on the outside of the wheel 15 cm from the axle? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer 1

Solution,

A)

d(theta) = 62.5 - 50 = 12.5 rad

B)

w = d(theta)/dt = - (75 - 50)/(20 - 10) = - 2.5 rad/sec

C)

w_max = (75 - 25)/(10 - 0) = 5 rad/sec

V_max = w_max x r = 5 x 0.15 = 0.75 m/s
