The peripheral speed of the tooth of a 10-in.-diameter circular saw blade is 230 ft/s when the power to the saw is turned off. The speed of the tooth decreases at a constant rate, and the blade comes to rest in 17 s. Determine the time at which the total acceleration of the tooth is 130 ft/s2.

Answer:

The time is  [tex]t_r =21.58 \ s[/tex]  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  diameter of the circular saw  is [tex]d = 10 \ in = \frac{10}{12} = 0.833 \ feet[/tex]

   The peripheral speed is [tex]u = 230 \ ft/s[/tex]

    The time taken for the blade to come to rest is t = 17 s

    The total  acceleration of the tooth considered is  [tex]a = 130 \ ft/s^2[/tex]  

Generally the radius of the blade is mathematically represented as

            [tex]r = \frac{0.833}{2}= 0. 4165 \ feet[/tex]

Generally the tangential acceleration of the blade is mathematically represented as

           [tex]a__{t}} = \frac{v - u}{t}[/tex]

Here v is the final  velocity of the tooth of the blade which is  zero  since the blade came to  rest

so  

         [tex]a__{t}} = \frac{0 - 230}{ 17}[/tex]

=>      [tex]a__{t}} = - 13.53 \ ft/s^2[/tex]

Generally the total acceleration of the tooth of the blade is mathematically represented as

         [tex]a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_r^2}[/tex]

Here [tex]a_r[/tex] is the radial acceleration , now making [tex]a_r[/tex] the subject of the formula we have that

        [tex]130= \sqrt{13.56 ^2 + a_r^2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]a_r = \sqrt{130^2 -(- 13.56)^2}[/tex]

=>     [tex]a_r = 129.3 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Generally radial  acceleration is mathematically represented as

      [tex]a_r = \frac{v_r^2}{r}[/tex]    

Here  [tex]v_r[/tex] is the velocity at which the total acceleration is 130 ft/s2.

=>   [tex]v_r = \sqrt{a_r * r }[/tex]  

=>  [tex]v_r = \sqrt{129.3 * 0.4165 }[/tex]

=>  [tex]v_r = 7.34 \ m/s[/tex]

Generally the time at which the total acceleration is  130 ft/s2. is mathematically represented as

        [tex]t_r = \frac{7.34 - 300}{a_t}[/tex]

=>      [tex]t_r = \frac{7.34 - 300}{-13.56}[/tex]

=>      [tex]t_r =21.58 \ s[/tex]
