12165. A car travels along the circular curve of radius r = # 300 ft. At the instant shown, its angular rate of rotation is u = 0.4 rad>s, which is increasing at the rate of $ u = 0.2 rad>s2. Determine the magnitudes of the cars velocity and acceleration at this instant. Velocity: Applying Eq. 1225, we have # # yr = r = 0 yu = ru = 300(0.4) = 120 ft>s Thus, the magnitude of the velocity of the car is y = 2y2 + y2 = 202 + 1202 = 120 ft>s r u

1610. During a gust of wind, the blades of the windmill are given an angular acceleration of a = (0.2u) rad>s2, where u is in radians. If initially the blades have an angular velocity of 5 rad>s, determine the speed of point P, located at the tip of one of the blades, just after the blade has turned two revolutions. Angular Motion: The angular velocity of the blade can be obtained by applying Eq. 164. vdv = adu
