As the drawing illustrates, a siren can be made by blowing a jet of air through 20 equally spaced holes in a rotating disk. The time it takes for successive holes to move past the air jet is the period of the sound. The siren is to produce a 2338.6-Hz tone. What must be the angular speed ω (in rad/s) of the disk?

ω = 630.2663 = 630[rad/s]

Explanation:

Solution:

- We can tackle this question by simple direct proportion relation between angular speed for the disk to rotate a cycle that constitutes 20 holes. We will use direct relation with number of holes per cycle to compute the revolution per seconds i.e frequency of speed f.

                                  1rev(20 hole) -> 20(cycle)/rev  

                                        2006.2(cycle) -> f ?  

                              f = 2006.2/20 = 100.31rev at second  

- The relation between angular frequency and angular speed is given by:

                                 ω = 2πf

                                 ω = 2*3.14*100.31

                                 ω = 630.2663 = 630[rad/s]

correct it is c.) b b
