- Mine winch drum diameter (d) = 6m
- To find: Distance the cage will drop for each single rotation of the drum (c)
Formula:
c = 2πr
Where,
- c = Distance the cage will drop
- r = Radius of the drum (d/2)
- π = 3.14 (pi)
Calculation:
First, we need to find the radius of the drum (r):
r = d/2 = 6m / 2 = 3m
Now, we can calculate the distance the cage will drop for each single rotation of the drum (c):
c = 2πr = 2 x 3.14 x 3m = 18.84m
Therefore, the cage will drop 18.84 meters for each single rotation of the drum.
