An electric fan has blades of length `30 cm` as measured from the axis of rotation. If the fan is rotating at `1200 rpm`, find the acceleration of a point on the tip of a blade.

Answer» Correct Answer - `480 pi^2 m s^-2`
`omega = 1200 rpm = 1200 xx (2 pi)/(60) = 40 pi rad s^-1`
`a_c = omega^2 r = (40 pi)^2 xx (30)/(100) = 480 pi^2 ms^-2`.
