A string is wound tightly around a wheel. When the end of the string is pulled through a distance of 10 cm, the wheel rotates through 5 revolutions. What is the radius of the wheel

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.318cm

Explanation:

The computation of the radius of the wheel is shown below:

As we know that

One revolution of the wheel = 2πr

Here r denotes the radius of the wheel

Now

5 revolutions of the wheel would be

= 2πr ×  5

= 10πr

So,

10πr = 10cm

Thus r = 1 ÷ π

= 0.318cm

The radius of the wheel will be r=0.318 cm

What will be the radius of the wheel?

The radius is defined as the distance between the center of circle and the outer layer of the circle.

It is given in the question that

Revolutions of the wheel = 5

The length of the string =10 cm

Now the radius will be calculated as

One revolution of the wheel

= [tex]2\pi r[/tex]

Now 5 revolutions of the wheel would be

=  [tex]2\pi r\times 5=10\pi\ r[/tex]

Since the string has the length of 10 cm then

[tex]10\pi\ r=10[/tex]

[tex]r=\dfrac{10}{10\pi}[/tex]

[tex]r=0.318\ cm[/tex]

Thus the radius of the wheel will be r=0.318 cm
