Machine Trades The formula
can be used under certain conditions to approximate the length L of belt needed to connect two pulleys of radii r and R if their centers are a distance d apart. How far apart can two pulleys be if their radii are 8 in. and 6 in. and the total length of the belt connecting them is 82 in.? (Round to the nearest inch.)

- A copper casting is in the shape of a prism with an equilateral triangle base. The length of each base side is 17.80 centimeters, and the casting height is 16.23 centimeters. Copper weighs 8.8 grams per cubic centimeter. Determine the weight of the casting in kilograms. One kilogram equals 1000 grams. Round the answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardAn artist wants to make a small monument in the shape of a square base topped by a right triangle, as shown below. The square base will be adjacent to one leg of the triangle. The other leg of the triangle will measure 2 feet and the hypotenuse will be 5 feet. (a) Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of a side of the square base. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot. (b) Find the exact area of the face of the square base.arrow_forwardFind the length of a piece of bar stock with a regular hexagon cross section with 0.875-inch sides. The piece has a volume of 31.2 cubic inches. The formula A2.598s2 is used to determine the area of a regular hexagon where A is the area and s is the length of a side.arrow_forward
