\
Relation between linear speed of an object and angular speed
of the object is
, where
is the radius of the circular motion and
is measured in radians per unit time.
\
Find the number of revolutions per minute. \ \
\Each cable travels at a speed of 9.55 miles per hour, that means mile/hour.
Diameter of the wheel is feet.
Radius of the wheel is feet.
Conversion :
\1 foot = 0.000189394 miles.
\\
Convert units from feet to miles :
\
\
Angular speed of a wheel : .
Consider .
Substitute he values of and
in above formula.
Thus, the number of revolutions per minute is 31.47 rpm.
\\
The number of revolutions per minute is 31.47 rpm.
