hi! I am really struggling on this question. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks! :)
Since the gears are connected by a chain, they have the same LINEAR velocity:
r 15pi / 2 /60 = 27 pi/10
r = 27 pi/10 * 60 * 2/(15pi) INCHES = 21.6 INCHES = 1.8 ft
Be careful...... everything has to be in seconds or everything has to be in minutes to get proper answer
I converted 15pi/2 rad/min to rad/sec by dividing by 60
