A string is wrapped around a wheel of radius 16 cm mounted on a stationary axle. The wheel is initially not rotating. You pull the string with a constant force through a distance of 35 cm. What is the angle in radians and degrees through which the wheel rotates?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Given is:

Radius of the wheel R = 16 cm

Length pr distance L = 35 cm

Let θ be the angle of rotation in radians

We have the formula : θ = [tex]\frac{L}{R}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{35\times10^{-2}}{16\times10^{-2}}[/tex]

θ = 2.187 radian

θ = [tex]\frac{180}{\pi } \times2.187[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{180}{3.14} \times2.187[/tex]

θ = 125.37 degrees.

The wheel rotates at an angle of 125.33 degrees or 2.1875 radian

What is a circle?

A circle is the locus of a point such that its distance from a fixed point (center) is always constant.

The length (L) of an arc is given by:

L = (Ф/360) * 2π * radius

Ф is in degrees, hence:

35 = (Ф/360) * 2π * 16

Ф = 125.33 degrees or 2.1875 radian

The wheel rotates at an angle of 125.33 degrees or 2.1875 radian
