Circular MotionMedium
Question
A particle is rotating in a circular path and at any instant its motion can be described as $\theta = \frac{5t^{4}}{40} - \frac{t^{3}}{3}$. The angular acceleration of the particle after 10 seconds is $\_\_\_\_$ $rad/s^{2}$.
Options
A.150
B.120
C.130
D.170
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Angular acceleration $\alpha = \frac{d^{2}\theta}{{dt}^{2}}$; evaluate at $t = 10$.]
$$\theta = \frac{5t^{4}}{40} - \frac{t^{3}}{3} $$
$$\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{5}{40}\left( 4t^{3} \right) - \frac{3t^{2}}{3} = \frac{t^{3}}{2} - t^{2} $$
$$\alpha = \frac{d^{2}\theta}{{dt}^{2}} = \frac{3t^{2}}{2} - 2t $$at $t = 10$
$$\alpha = \frac{3}{2}(10)^{2} - 2 \times 10 = 130rad/\sec^{2} $$
