To calculate how far the cage will drop for each single rotation of the drum, we need to know the circumference of the drum. The circumference is calculated using the formula:

C = π * d

where C is the circumference, π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159, and d is the diameter of the drum.

Given that the drum diameter is 6 m, we can substitute this value into the formula:

C = π * 6

C ≈ 3.14159 * 6

C ≈ 18.84956 m

So, the circumference of the drum is approximately 18.84956 meters.

Now, we know that for each full rotation of the drum (which covers the entire circumference), the cage will drop a distance equal to the circumference. Therefore, the cage will drop approximately 18.84956 meters for each single rotation of the drum.
