A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bumps in the groove run into the stylus, causing it to oscillate. The equipment converts those oscillations to electrical signals and then to sound. Suppose that a record turns at the rate of 3313 rev min-1, the groove being played is at a radius of 10.0 cm and the bumps in the groove are uniformly separated by 1.85 mm. At what rate (hits per second) do the bumps hit the stylus?

In the figure shown below, wheel A of radius rA=10 cm is coupled by a belt B to wheel C of radius rC=25 cm. The angular speed of wheel A is increased from rest at a constant rate of 2.0 rad s-2. Find the time needed for the wheel C to reach an angular speed of 100 rev min-1, assuming the belt does not slip. (Hint: If the belt does not slip, the linear speeds at the two rims must be equal.)

The below figure shows an early method of measuring the speed of light that makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the slots at the outside edge of the wheel, travels to a distant mirror, and returns to the wheel just in time to pass through the next slot in the wheel. One such slotted wheel has a radius of 5.0 cm and 500  slots around its edge. Measurements taken when the mirror is L=500 m from the wheel indicate a speed of light of 3.0×105 km s-1. a What is the (constant) angular speed of the wheel? b What is the linear speed of a point on the edge of the wheel?

A disc with a radius of 0.25 m, is to be rotated like a merry-go-round through 800 rad, starting from rest, gaining angular speed at the constant rate α1 through the first 400 rad and then losing angular speed at the constant rate -α1 until it is again at rest. The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of any portion of the disc is not to exceed 400 m s-2.
