Question 694622: there are 3 rollers under a conveyor belt, and each roller has a radius of 8 centimeters. The rollers turn at a rate of 2 revolutions per second. What is the linear speed of the conveyor belt. A)0.50 m/s B)50.26 m/s C)100.53 m/s J) 1.005 m/s Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance traveled by the belt in in one rotation
= the circumference of the roller
the radius of roller = 8cm = 0.08 m
Circumference = 2*pi*8
=16pi
2 rotations /sec
it travels 32pi in one second
32*3.142=100.53m/s
