If the mine winch drum diameter is 6cm,calculate how far the cage will drop for each single rotation
To calculate how far the cage will drop for each single rotation of the mine winch drum, you need to consider the circumference of the drum.
The formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is:
C = 2πr
Where C is the circumference and r is the radius of the circle.
Given that the diameter of the mine winch drum is 6 cm, we can calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.
r = 6 cm / 2 = 3 cm
Now we can substitute the value of the radius into the formula for circumference:
C = 2π(3 cm) = 6π cm
Therefore, the circumference of the mine winch drum is 6π cm.
Since the cage will drop for each single rotation of the drum, the distance it will drop is equal to the circumference of the drum.
The distance the cage will drop for each single rotation is 6π cm.
C = πd
so, ...
