Question 1138556: Two pulleys, one with a radius of 2 inches and the other with a radius of 8 inches are connected by a belt. If the 2-inch pulley is rotating at 300 revolutions per minute, determine the number of revolutions per minute completed by the 8-inch pulley. Hint: The linear speeds at the rim of both pulleys are the same - they are both equal to the speed of the belt.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two pulleys, one with a radius of 2 inches and the other with a radius of 8 inches are connected by a belt. If the 2-inch pulley is rotating at 300 revolutions per minute, determine the number of revolutions per minute completed by the 8-inch pulley.
