Question: A circular saw blade with radius 0.175 m starts from rest and turns in a vertical plane with a constant angular acceleration of 2.00 rev/s2.

A circular saw blade with radius 0.175 m starts from rest and turns in a vertical plane with a constant angular acceleration of 2.00 rev/s2. After the blade has turned through 155 rev, a small piece of the blade breaks loose from the top of the blade. After the piece breaks loose, it travels with a velocity that is initially horizontal and equal to the tangential velocity of the rim of the blade. The piece travels a vertical distance of 0.820 m to the floor.

a-) How far does the piece travel horizontally, from where it broke off the blade until it strikes the floor? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
