Question

a pulley of diameter 15.0 cm is driven by a motor that revolves at 10 rpm. the pulley drives a 2nd pulley with diameter 10.0 cm. find the rpm of the 2nd pulley

Answer 1

The rpm of the second pulley is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rpm of the second pulley, we can use the formula:

Angular velocity of first pulley * diameter of first pulley = angular velocity of second pulley * diameter of second pulley

Plugging in the given values:

10 rpm * 15.0 cm = rpm of second pulley * 10.0 cm

Dividing both sides by 10.0 cm:

Rpm of second pulley = (10 rpm * 15.0 cm) / 10.0 cm = 15 rpm

Answer 2

6.67prm

diam1/diam2 = rpm1/rpm2
