Question 71175: a small pully with a 6-inch diameter turns at 350 rpm. The small pulley drives a larger pulley which turns at 150 rpm. What is the diameter of the larger pulley?
Use a ratio. You know the larger pulley is going to have a larger diameter than 6.
150/6=350/x.
150x=2100
2100/150=14
x=14 inches Answer by galactus(183) (Show Source):
