Question

In the days before compact discs and MP3 players (ancient history!), music was recorded in scratches in the surface of vinyl-coated disks called records. In a typical record player, the record rotated with a period of 1.8 s1.8 \mathrm{~s}. Find the centripetal acceleration of a point on the edge of the record. Assume a radius of 15 cm15 \mathrm{~cm}.

1 of 4

Given the radius rr of the record and its period of rotation TT,

r=15 cmT=1.8 s\begin{aligned} r&=15\ \text{cm}\\ T&=1.8\ \text{s} \end{aligned}

our objective is to determine the centripetal acceleration of a point on the edge of the record.
