Answer:

the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

radius of the disk, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

angular speed of the disk, ω = 100 rpm

time of motion, t = 30 s

The distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is calculated as follows;

Therefore, the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m
