Answer:

Linear velocity (in m/s) = 1.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Length of rotational plane = 80 cm

Angular  velocity of the rod = 4rad/s

Find:

Linear velocity (in m/s)

Computation:

Radius from mid point C = Length of rotational plane / 2

Radius from mid point C = 80 / 2

Radius from mid point C = 40 cm

Radius from mid point C = 0.4 m

Linear velocity (in m/s) = Angular  velocity of the rod x Radius from mid point C

Linear velocity (in m/s) = 0.4 x 4

Linear velocity (in m/s) = 1.6 m/s
