  • Calculate Angular and Linear Velocity of a Belt and Pulley System
    Here's how to calculate the angular velocity and linear velocity of the belt:

    1. Angular Velocity (ω)

    * Convert RPM to radians per minute:

    * 1 revolution = 2π radians

    * 80 RPM = 80 revolutions/minute * 2π radians/revolution = 160π radians/minute

    * Convert radians per minute to radians per second:

    * 1 minute = 60 seconds

    * ω = 160π radians/minute * (1 minute/60 seconds) = (8π/3) radians/second

    2. Linear Velocity (v)

    * Relationship between angular and linear velocity:

    * v = ω * r, where r is the radius of the pulley.

    * Calculate linear velocity:

    * v = (8π/3 radians/second) * 6 cm = 16π cm/second

    Therefore:

    * The angular velocity of the pulley is (8π/3) radians/second.

    * The linear velocity of the belt is 16π cm/second.
