Question 448715: A wheel has a radius of 3 feet. As the wheel turns, a rope connected to a five kilogram weight winds onto the wheel, causing the weight to move. If the wheel turns 135 degrees, to the nearest food, how far does the weight move?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! A wheel has a radius of 3 feet. As the wheel turns, a rope connected to a five kilogram weight winds onto the wheel, causing the weight to move. If the wheel turns 135 degrees, to the nearest food, how far does the weight move
..
Circumference of the wheel=2π*radius=6π feet
For each revolution or 360º turn of the wheel, the 5 kg weight will move 6π feet
so, for a 135º turn the 5 kg weight will move (135/360)*6π=7.07 ft
