  1. An electric fan has blades of length 30 cm measured from the axis of rotation. If the fan is rotating at 120 rpm, the acceleration of a point on the tip of the blade is
    1. 1600 ms–2
    2. 47.4 ms–2
    3. ​23.7 ms–2
    4. 50.55 ms–2
Correct Option: C

Centripetal acc. = ω2r = 4π2v2r

= 4 × (3.14)2 ×
120
