Question
A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bumps in the groove run into the stylus, causing it to oscillate. The equipment converts those oscillations to electrical signals and then to sound. Suppose that a record turns at the rate of 33 rev/min, the groove being played is at a radius of 11.5 cm, and the bumps in the groove are uniformly separated by 0.374 mm. At what rate (hits per second) do the bumps hit the stylus?

Answer:
1063 hits/sec
Explanation:
-Angular velocity of the record is given as:
-Radius of the record is given as:
The linear speed of the record is calculated as:
The grove bumps are uniformly separated as 0.374 mm(0.000374), the number of hits per second is calculated as:
Hence, there are 1063 hits/sec
