A uniform helicopter rotor blade is 8.97 m long, has a mass of 104 kg, and is attached to the rotor axle by a single bolt. (a) What is the magnitude of the force on the bolt from the axle when the rotor is turning at 329 rev/min? (Hint: For this calculation the blade can be considered to be a point mass at its center of mass. Why?) (b) Calculate the torque that must be applied to the rotor to bring it to full speed from rest in 7.68 s. Ignore air resistance. (The blade cannot be considered to be a point mass for this calculation. Why not? Assume the mass distribution of a uniform thin rod.) (c) How much work does the torque do on the blade for the blade to reach a speed of 329 rev/min?

Expert Solution

sol:)

Given data

mass(m) = 104 kg

length (L ) = 8.97m

a.) Magnitude of the force:

convert revolution per minute in radians/ sec

above omega value substitute in magnitude force equation

Therefore, magnitude force exerted by the blade is 552.929*10³ N

b.) Torque:

we know that the torque formula is

given time (t) = 7.68 s

Hence, torque exerted by the rotor is 12.50*10³ N.m

c.) Workdone

we know that workdone formula is

given 329 rev/min

convert rpm to rad /s

The diameters of the main rotor and tail rotor of a single-engine helicopter are 7.59 m and 1.01 m, respectively. The respective rotational speeds are 453 rev/min and 4129 rev/min. Calculate the speeds of the tips of both rotors. m/s (main rotor) m/s (tail rotor) Compare these speeds with the speed of sound, 343 m/s. (vmain rotor / vsound) (vtail rotor / vsound)

A twin-blade aircraft propeller has a mass of 30.0 kg and a radius of 1.50 m. When the aircraft is flying at its top speed of 162 knots the tips of the propeller blades may not move faster than 300 m/s through the air (otherwise they would be travelling supersonically). Determine: 3.1 the maximum safe angular speed of the propeller in rpm; 3.2 the torque the engine must exert on the propeller in order for it to reach this maximum...

A container with mass m kg is dropped by a helicopter from height h km at time t=0, with zero velocity. from the outset, its fall is controlled by gravity and the force of air resitance, f(v)= -kv, where v is the current velocity of the container. in t seconds after the drop, a parachute opens, resulting in an increase of air resistance up to f(v) = -kv. determine the time t at which the container touches the ground. and...

A uniform 6.0-m-long ladder of mass 15.0 kg leans against a smooth wall (so the force exerted by the wall, F→W, is perpendicular to the wall). The ladder makes an angle of 25.0 ∘ with the vertical wall, and the ground is rough. Determine the coefficient of static friction at the base of the ladder if the ladder is not to slip when a 77.0-kg person stands three-fourths of the way up the ladder.
