A ceiling fan has five blades, each with a mass of 0.34 kg and a length of 0.66 m. The fan is operating in it's "low" setting at which the angular speed is 9.4 rad/s. If the blades can be approximated as uniform thin rods that rotate about one end, what is the total rotational kinetic energy of the five blades?

<p>Multiple-Concept Example 7 explores the approach taken in problems such as this one.&#160; The blades of a ceiling fan have a radius of 0.380 m and are rotating about a fixed axis with an angular velocity of +1.50 rad/s.&#160; When the switch on the fan is turned to a higher speed, the blades acquire an angular acceleration of +2.00 rad/s^2.&#160; After 0.500 s have elapsed since the switch was reset, what is (a) the total acceleration (in m/s^2) of a point on the tip of a blade and (b) the angle&#160; &#966; between the total acceleration and the centripetal acceleration?&#160; ( See Figure 8.12 b.)</p>

Two thin rods of length L are rotating with the same angular speed? (in rad/s) about axes that pass perpendicularly through one end.Rod A is massless but has a particle of mass 0.62 kg attached toits free end. Rod B has a mass of 0.62 kg, which is distributeduniformly along its length. The length of each rod is 0.81 m, andthe angular speed is 4.5 rad/s. Find the kinetic energies of rod Awith its attached particle and of rod B.
