The outside diameter of the playing area of an optical Blu-ray disc is 11.75 cm, and the inside diameter is 4.50 cm. When viewing movies, the disc rotates so that a laser maintains a constant linear speed relative to the disc of 6.70 m/s as it tracks over the playing area.
What is the average angular acceleration of a Blu-ray disc as it plays an 3.5-h set of movies? (Assume the disk is scanned starting at its inner radius moving outward. Express your answer to two significant figures.)
Solutions
Expert Solution
In order to find the average angular acceleration of the disc we have to find the angular velocity at inner and outer portion of the disc.
The angular velocity is given by 
Using equation, 
we can find angular acceleration.

. A steam main (outside diameter of 16.8 cm and inside diameter
of 15.4 cm) is covered with 5-cm of high temperature insulation (k
= 0.095 W/m. K) and 3.8 cm of lower temperature insulation (k =
0.07W/m. K). Calculate the heat loss from 150 m pipe assuming that
inner and outer surface temperatures of the insulation are 450 and
30 °C, respectively. Also determine the temperature at the
interface between two layers of insulation (10 points).

Consumers' Surplus The demand function for a certain model of
Blu-ray player is given by p = 600 0.5x + 1 where p is the unit
price in dollars and x (in units of a thousand) is the quantity
demanded per week. What is the consumers' surplus if the selling
price is set at $300/unit? (Round your answer to the nearest
dollar.)
