Angular Variables

A huge circular arc of length 4.4 ly subtends an angle of 4″ (4 seconds of arc) at the centre of the circle. How long it would take for a body to complete 4 revolutions if its speed is 8 AU per second? Given: 1 ly = 9.46 ×\times 1015 m

1 AU = 1.5 ×\times 1011 m

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. θ=4′′=43600×π180≈1.94×10−5\theta = 4'' = \frac{4}{3600} \times \frac{\pi}{180} \approx 1.94 \times 10^{-5} rad.
  2. r=sθ=4.4×9.46×10151.94×10−5≈2.15×1021r = \frac{s}{\theta} = \frac{4.4 \times 9.46 \times 10^{15}}{1.94 \times 10^{-5}} \approx 2.15 \times 10^{21} m.
  3. Distance for 4 revolutions =4×2πr≈5.4×1022= 4 \times 2\pi r \approx 5.4 \times 10^{22} m.
  4. Speed =8×1.5×1011=1.2×1012= 8 \times 1.5 \times 10^{11} = 1.2 \times 10^{12} m/s, so t=5.4×10221.2×1012≈4.5×1010t = \frac{5.4 \times 10^{22}}{1.2 \times 10^{12}} \approx 4.5 \times 10^{10} s.
  5. So the answer is (b) 4.5×10104.5 \times 10^{10} s.
