If the mine Winch drum diameter is 6m,calculate how far the cage will drop for each single rotation of the drum,use the formula C=2Πr:
I need your hep because this is very difficult for me as a grade 8 leaner and I even asked my technology teacher but he said that I must find answers through people I am going to investigate during this test of term 3 and he said that if he tries and help me he will be giving me the answers so that's why I'm still searching for answers to this app
You have the formula, so use it.
If you don't know why to use the formula, you just don't understand the problem.
One turn of the wheel uses up enough rope to wrap around the circumference of the drum.
The formula gives you that circumference.
To calculate how far the cage will drop for each single rotation of the drum, you can use the formula for the circumference (C) of a circle, which is given by C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. The diameter (d) of the circle is twice the radius (r), so we can rewrite the formula as C = πd.
In this case, the mine winch drum diameter is given as 6 meters. The radius (r) of the drum is half of the diameter, which is 6/2 = 3 meters.
Now, substitute the value of the radius (r) into the formula for the circumference (C):
C = πd
C = π(6)
C = 18π meters
Therefore, for each single rotation of the drum, the cage will drop a distance of 18π meters.
