Question

Q5) Ceiling fan having moment of inertia 2kg- m2,
attend its maximum frequency of maximum frequency
of 30 rpm in 2 sec Calculate its angular acceleration
and power rating.​

Answer 1

Answer:

I = Moment of inertia = 2\ \text{kg m}^22 kg m

2

ff = Frequency of rotation = 60 rpm = 60\times \dfrac{\pi}{30}=2\pi\ \text{rad/s}60×

30

π

=2π rad/s

t = Time taken = 2\pi\ \text{s}2π s

To find

Power rating of fan

Solution

\begin{gathered}\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha\theta\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{2\pi-0}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=1\ \text{rad/s}^2\end{gathered}

2π−0

⇒α=1 rad/s

Power is given by

\begin{gathered}P=I\alpha \omega\\\Rightarrow P=2\times 1\times 2\pi=\\\Rightarrow P=4\pi=12.56\ \text{W}\end{gathered}

P=Iαω

⇒P=2×1×2π=

⇒P=4π=12.56 W

The power rating of the fan is 13 W.
