The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the velocity of the spot of light \( P \) on the wall when the angle \( \theta \) is \( 45^\circ \). The spotlight rotates with a constant angular velocity \( \omega = 0.1 \, \text{rad/s} \) and the distance from the spotlight to the wall is \( D = 3 \, \text{m} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: The spotlight \( S \) rotates in a horizontal plane, and the light spot \( P \) moves along the wall at a distance \( D = 3 \, \text{m} \). The angle \( \theta \) is the angle between the line from the spotlight to the wall and the vertical line. 2. **Finding the Radius \( r \)**: The radius \( r \) from the spotlight to the point \( P \) on the wall can be calculated using the formula: \[ r = \frac{D}{\cos(\theta)} \] For \( \theta = 45^\circ \): \[ r = \frac{3}{\cos(45^\circ)} = \frac{3}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} = 3\sqrt{2} \, \text{m} \] 3. **Calculating the Linear Velocity \( v \)**: The linear velocity \( v \) of the spot of light \( P \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \omega \cdot r \cdot \sin(\theta) \] Substituting the known values: \[ v = 0.1 \, \text{rad/s} \cdot (3\sqrt{2}) \cdot \sin(45^\circ) \] Since \( \sin(45^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \): \[ v = 0.1 \cdot (3\sqrt{2}) \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 0.1 \cdot 3 = 0.3 \, \text{m/s} \] 4. **Final Calculation**: Therefore, the velocity of the spot \( P \) when \( \theta = 45^\circ \) is: \[ v = 0.3 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer: The velocity of the spot \( P \) when \( \theta = 45^\circ \) is \( 0.3 \, \text{m/s} \).
