Problem

Let's suppose a camera with a frame rate of 24 frames per second (consider evenly spaced and perfectly sharp shots). We record a flight of a helicopter with the rotor rotation velocity of 2 900 cycles/min2 900 \mathrm {cycles/min}. Then the record is played. What is the apparent rotational velocity of the rotor in the record?
