The diameters of the main rotor and tail rotor of a single-engine helicopter are 7.51 m and 1.00 m, respectively. The respective rotational speeds are 443 rev/min and 4,150 rev/min. Calculate the speeds of the tips of both rotors.

main rotor =                 m/s
tail rotor   =    m/s


Compare these speeds with the speed of sound, 343 m/s.

vmain rotor  =                          vsound
vtail rotor  =   vsound
