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( "
\n" );
