Question 289036
I cannot figure out how to solve this word problem:
An electric hoist is used to lift a piece of equipment 1 foot. 
The diameter of the hoist drum is 10 inches.
 Find the number of degrees through which the drum must turn to accomplish the lift. 
:
Find the circumference of the drum
C = {{{pi*10}}}
c = 31.416 inches
:
Find the degrees it has to travel to raise it 1 ft (12") 
{{{12/31.416}}}*360 = 137.5 degrees
