Question: Problem 2 ( 1 0 pts ) Refer to Fig. 2 : a two - bladed aircraft propeller follows a circular path of radius R

Problem 2(10 pts)
Refer to Fig. 2: a two-bladed aircraft propeller follows a circular path of radius R(R does not change over time) at an altitude h, which changes over time. A brave spider s crawls along one of the blades at a constant speed v.
(a) Determine the velocity of the spider with respect to the airplane. Express it in terms of the airplane frame A{hat(a)1,hat(a)2,hat(a)3}.(3 pts)
(b) Determine the velocity of the airplane with respect to ground, i.e. with respect to the inertial frame E{hat(e)1,hat(e)2,hat(e)3}. Express it in terms of the E frame. (3 pts)
(c) Determine the velocity of the spider with respect to ground, i.e. with respect to the inertial frame E{hat(e)1,hat(e)2,hat(e)3}. Express it in terms of the airplane frame, A.(3 pts)
(d) How long it takes for the spider to reach the end of the blade of length l if it starts at q and has a velocity of v?(1 pt)
Fig. 2: E{hat(e)1,hat(e)2,hat(e)3} : inertial frame. A{hat(a)1,hat(a)2,hat(a)3} : airplane frame. B{hat(b)1,hat(b)2,hat(b)3} : blades' frame.
