Seeking the set up only for parts (a) & (b).
Seeking the set up only for parts (a) & (b).
A computerized spin balance machine rotates a 25-inch-diameter tire at 480 revolutions per minute.
(a) Find the road speed (in miles per hour) at which the tire is being balanced. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
speed s=25*pi *480 (in/min)*(1ft/12in)*(1mi/5280ft)*60(min/hr) ...cancel in, ft, min, and you got mil/h
s=37699.11184307752(1/12)(1/5280)*60(mil/h)
s=(35.69991651806583)(mil/h)
s= 35.70 (mil/h)
(b) At what rate should the spin balance machine be set so that the tire is being tested for 45 miles per hour? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
480 (rev/min)/35.7(mi/hr) = x/45(mil/h)
x=(480 (rev/min)*45(mil/h))/35.7(mi/hr) ...simplify
x=(480 (rev/min)*45/35.7
x = 605.06 (rev/min)
that is physics, a lot of unit conversion is required
