What is the relationship between the linear speed of a propeller blade and its distance from the propeller boss?
The linear speed is constant regardless of the distance.
The linear speed decreases as the distance from the propeller boss increases.
The linear speed increases as the distance from the propeller boss increases.
The linear speed is unrelated to the distance from the propeller boss.
