MCQ
When a ceiling fan is switched on, it makes $10 \,rotations$ in the first
$3 \,\sec.$ How many rotations will it make in the next $3 \,\sec$ (Assume uniform angular acceleration)
  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $20$
  • $30$
  • D
    $40$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$30$
c
In first three seconds, angle rotated $\theta=2 \pi \times 10 \mathrm{rad}$

Using, $\theta=\omega_{0} t+\frac{1}{2} \alpha t^{2}$

$\therefore 2 \pi \times 10=0+\frac{1}{2} \alpha \times 3^{2}=\frac{9}{2} \alpha \ldots(i)$

For the rotation of fan in next three second, the total time of revolutions

$=$$3+3=6 s$

Let total number of revolutions $=N$

Then angle of revolutions, $\theta^{\prime}=2 \pi \mathrm{N}$ rad

$\therefore 2 \pi N=0+\frac{1}{2} \alpha \times 6^{2}=18 \alpha$     $...(ii)$

Dividing $(ii)$ by $(i),$ we get

$N=40$

No. of revolutions in last three seconds

$=40-10=30$ revolutions
