Question 1075789: can someone please help me with this?
A belt connects two pulleys. Let d1 and d2 represent the diameters of the larger and smaller pulleys. Suppose that the larger pulley is rotating at an angular velocity of w1. Find the equation for w2, the angular velocity of the smaller pulley, in terms of d1, d2, w1.
I tried , but confused. Thank you.

A belt connects two pulleys. Let d1 and d2 represent the diameters of the larger and smaller pulleys. Suppose that the larger pulley is rotating at an angular velocity of w1. Find the equation for w2, the angular velocity of the smaller pulley, in terms of d1, d2, w1.
--------
Linear speed = w*r
--> w1*d1 = w2*d2
