<h3> Statement </h3>
<p>
$5.2.9$
A molecular projector creates a ribbon-shaped narrow beam of silver's atoms that arrive to internal surface of a cylinder of radius $R = 30$ cm and form a spot. The device rotates with angular velocity $\omega = 100\pi$ s$^{-1}$. Find the beam's velocity, if the spot deviates an angle $\varphi=0.314$ rad respect to initial position.

<h3>Solution</h3>
<p>
When first atom of the beam arrives to surface after a time $t$, the cylinder has sweep the angle $\varphi$. So
$$\varphi=\omega t \\;(1)$$
The atoms are displaced from center to surface during same time $t$, considering constant velocity $v$
$$R=vt \\;(2)$$
Dividing $(2)$ by $(1)$ and separating $v$
$$\boxed{v = \frac{\omega R}{\varphi}=300 \\;{\rm{m/s}}}$$
