Algebra.Com's Answer #135884 by Mathtut(3670) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! there is an inverse relationship between pulleys I believe \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "so lets find the constant of variation k. let d be the diameter and r the speed \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "d(r)=k \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "12(240)=k \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "k=2880 our constant of variation \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "so for diameter of 8 what is the rotation speed \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "8(r)=2880 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "r=360 rpm \n" ); document.write( " |
