Answer: d. The helicopter rotor will spin 36,000 times in 1 hour
Explanation:
Option A is wrong because in 40 minutes the rotor will spin:
= 40 * 600
= 24,000 times
Option B is wrong because we cannot know the number of times the rotor will spin before being lifted off of the ground with the details given.
Option C is wrong because in 3 hours the rotor will spin:
= 600 * 3 * 60 minutes
= 108,000 times
Option D is correct because in 1 hour the rotor will spin:
= 600 * 1 * 60 mins
= 36,000 times
