The rotating drum in a clothes-dryer has a radius of 0.31 m. If the acceleration at the rim of the drum is 27 m/s2, what is the tangential speed of the rim?

v = 2.89 m / s

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise, the centripetal acceleration is

         a = v² / r

where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity and r the radius

let's clear

       v = √a r

let's calculate

       v = √ (27 0.31)

       v = 2.89 m / s

this is the speed of the drum which is constant
