A device for acclimating military pilots to the high accelerations they must experience consists of a horizontal beam that rotates horizontally about one end while the pilot is seated at the other end. In order to achieve a radial acceleration of 34.1 m/s2 with a beam of length 5.55 m , what rotation frequency is required?

f = 0.4 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of rotation of an object in order to achieve required centripetal or radial acceleration, can be found out by using the following formula:

f = (1/2π)√(ac/r)

where,

f = frequency of rotation = ?

ac = radial acceleration = 34.1 m/s²

r = radius = length of beam = 5.55 m

Therefore,

f = (1/2π)√[(34.1 m/s²)/(5.55 m)]

f = 0.4 Hz
