1. A pulley is turned 120 degrees per second.

a. find the number of revolutions per minute (rpm)

b. if the radius of the pulley is 5 inches, find the linear velocity in inches per second.

120 degrees/sec  x  1 rotation/360degrees   x  60 sec/min = 20 rpm

 

CIRCUMFERENCE = pi x 2r = pi x 10 = 31.4 in

 

31.4 in/rotation  x  20  rotat/min = 628 in/min

628 in/min x 1min/60 sec= 10.47 in/sec
