Options

A

2 π

B

30 π

C

100 π

D

3000 π

Correct Answer :

100 π

Solution :

The correct option is 100 π.

To find the angle described by the shaft in radians in one second, we need to convert the rotational speed of the flywheel from revolutions per minute (rpm) to radians per second.

First, let's identify the given values:
Rotational speed, N=3000 rpm (revolutions per minute)

We know that in one complete revolution, a shaft rotates through an angle of:
θ=2π radians

Since the flywheel completes 3000 revolutions in one minute, the total angle rotated in one minute (60 seconds) is:
Total angle in 60 seconds=3000×2π radians

To find the angle described in one second, we divide the total angle rotated in 60 seconds by 60:
Angle in one second=3000×2π60 radians

Simplifying the expression:
Angle in one second=50×2π=100π radians

Thus, the angle described by the shaft in one second is 100 π radians.
