A single-engine helicopter has two rotors: a main rotor and a tail rotor. The main rotor has a diameter of 15.8 m and rotates at a rate of 420 rev/min, while the tail rotor, with a diameter of 1.96 m, rotates at 4000 rev/min. What are the speeds, in m/s, of the tips of each rotor? Main rotor speed m/s: Tail rotor speed m/s:

The diameters of the main rotor and tail rotor of a single-engine helicopter are 7.68 m and 1.06 m, respectively. The respective rotational speeds are 452 rev/min and 4,140 rev/min. Calculate the speeds of the tips of both rotors. Compare these speeds with the speed of sound, 343 m/s.
