PROBLEM 12.56 
Three seconds after a polisher is started from rest, small tufts of 
fleece from along the circumference of the 225-mm-diameter 
polishing pad are observed to fly free of the pad. If the polisher is 
started so that the fleece along the circumference undergoes a 
constant tangential acceleration of 24 m/s , determine (a) the 
speed v of a tuft as it leaves the pad, (b) the magnitude of the force 
required to free a tuft if the average mass of a tuft is 1.6 mg. 
 
SOLUTION 
(a) constantta =  uniformly acceleration motion 
 Then 0 tv a t= + 
 At 3 s:=t 2(4 m/s )(3 s)=v
