Question

If the mine winch drum diameter is 6M, how far will the counterweight lift for each single rotation of the drum

Answer 1

Circumference of drum = 18.86 m

Given:

Diameter of drum = 6 m

Radius of drum = 3 m

Find:

Circumference of drum

Computation:

Circumference of drum is called single rotation

Circumference of drum = 2πr

Circumference of drum = 2[22/7][3]

Circumference of drum = 18.857

Circumference of drum = 18.86 m
