A man carrying a monkey on his shoulder does cycling smoothly on a circular track of radius 9 m and completes 120 revolutions in 3 minutes. The magnitude of centripetal acceleration of monkey is (in m/s2) :
- 4 2 m s-2
- 16 2 m s-2
- 57600 2 m s-2
- Zero
Answer
(2) 16 2 m s-2
Solution
The monkey moves with the man on the same circle (r = 9 m).
= 2 1203 60 = 4 3 rad s-1
ac = 2 r = 16 29 9
= 16 2 m s-2
Answer: (2)
