The piston in a petrol engine goes up and down 3000 times per minute. For this engine, calculate the period of the piston.
- A. \( 0.02 \mathrm{s} \)
- B. 0.04 s
- C. \( 0.05 \mathrm{s} \)
- D. 0.08 s
Step-by-step solution
The piston completes 3000 cycles per minute, so frequency f = 3000/60 = 50 Hz. Period T = 1/f = 1/50 = 0.02 s.
