A cable railway is driven by two large 14-foot-diameter drive wheels, called sheaves. Because of the figure-eight system used, the cable subtends a central angle of 270° on each sheave. Find the length of cable riding on one of the drive sheaves at any given time. (See the figure below. Round your answer to one decimal place.)
