Numerical and Graphical Reasoning A crossed belt connects a 20–centimeter pulley (10–cm radius) on an electric motor with a 40–centimeter pulley (20–cm radius) on a saw arbor (see figure). The electric motor runs at 1700 revolutions per minute.
(a) Determine the number of revolutions per minute of the saw.
(b) How does crossing the belt affect the saw in relation to the motor?
(c) Let L be the total length of the belt. Write L as a function of
(d) Use a graphing utility to complete the table.

- Work The work W required to lift an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the height h that the object is lifted. The work required to lift a 120-kilogram object 1.8 meters is 2116.8 joules. Find the amount of work required to lift a 100-kilogram object 1.5 meters.arrow_forwardUsing Models the given model given to answer the question about the object or process being modeled. The distance d (in mi) driven by a car traveling at a speed of v miles per hour is given by d=vt . If the car is driven 70 mi/h for 3.5 h, how far has it traveled?arrow_forwardSound Location Two microphones, 2 miles apart, record an explosion. Microphone A receives the sound 6 seconds before microphone B. Where did the explosion occur? (Assume sound travels at 1100 feet per second.)arrow_forward
