Consider a drum of a clothing dryer that is turning at a rate of 1 revolution every second when you sudde of the dryer. You noticed that it took 19 seconds for the drum to completely stop. What is the angular speed (in rad/s) at the precise moment when you suddenly open the door of tHe dryer
Added by Celia C.
Step 1
Since the drum makes 1 revolution every second, we can convert this to radians per second. 1 revolution = \(2\pi\) radians, so: \[ \text{Angular speed} = \frac{2\pi \text{ radians}}{1 \text{ second}} = 2\pi \text{ rad/s} \] Show more…

The drum of a clothing dryer is turning at a rate of 1 revolution every second when you suddenly open the door of the dryer. You noticed that it took $1.5$ seconds for the drum to completely stop. Determine the deceleration of the drum. State your assumptions.
an automatic dryer spins wet clothes at an angular speed of 10 rad/s. starting from rest, the dryer reaches its operating speed with an average angular acceleration of 4.0 rad/s^2. how long does it take the dryer to come up to speed? how many revolutions the dryer has made in 20 seconds after it has reached its constant operating speed of 10 rad/s?

In a home laundry dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet clothes is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis, as shown in Figure P7.61. So that the clothes will dry uniformly, they are made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of $\theta=68.0^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. If the radius of the tub is $r=0.330 \mathrm{m},$ what rate of revolution is needed in revolutions per second?
