Question

25. The most efficient operating angle for a certain conveyor belt is 25 degrees. If the parts must bemoved a vertical distance of 18 ft., what length of conveyor is needed?

Answer 1

Given data:

The most efficient angle for a certain belt = 25 degree

Vertical distance = 18 ft.

For most efficient operating angle, let x is length of conveyer belt

`\sin 25^(\circ)=(18)/(x)`
`\begin{gathered} x=(18)/(\sin 25) \\ x=42.60 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the length is 42.60 ft.
