Two pulleys are connected by a 195.5 cm long belt. The
larger pulley has a diameter of 41 cm. The smaller pulley has a diameter of 36 cm. If the belt makes one complete revolution every 27.5 seconds, answer the following questions:
You will not receive marks for reversing your answers for the large and small pulley!
diam = 36 cm diam = 41 cm (a) Determine the angular velocity of the LARGER pulley in radians/second. Express your answer to three significant figures. Do not include units in your answer. (b) Determine the angular velocity of the SMALLER pulley in radians/second. Express your answer to three significant figures. Do not include units in your answer.
Question 2: (1 point) A set of reducing gears is used to raise the box shown. The gear assembly B/C is welded together so that gears B and C rotate at the same rate. Gear A is rotating at 3 revolutions per minute. Given that the diameter of gear A is 0.45 m, the diameter of gear B is 0.8 m and the diameter of gear C is 0.055 m, determine:
(a) The angular velocity of gear B in radians/minute. Express your answer to three significant figures. Do not include units in your answer. (b) The linear speed in metres/minute which the box is being raised. Express your answer to three significant figures. Do not include units in your answer.
Question 3: (1 point) For the rack and gear assembly shown, the gear has a radius of 85 mm. It rotates at a rate of 2.3 rpm. If the gear rotates for 0.2 minutes, how many millimeters will it move the rack vertically? Express your answer tothree significant figures. Do not include units in your answer. Recall that to express a number in scientific notation use a capital 'E'. For example 2390 would be expressed as 2.39E3, and 0.003456 would be expressed as 3.46E-3.

Question 4: (1 point) For the pulley system shown, the pulley has a radius of 0.2 m. Through what angle (in degrees) must the pulley rotate to raise the box 2.1 m? Express your answer to three significant figures. Do not include units in your answer. Recall that to express a number in scientific notation use a capital 'E'. For example 2390 would be expressed as 2.39E3, and 0.003456 would be expressed as 3.46E-3.
r = 0.2 m
Question 5: (1 point) Find the length of the pulley belt system shown if the belts cross at right angles. The radii of the pulleys are 13.4 cm. Express your answer to three significant digits.
Question 6: (1 point) A spool of wire is rolled out along a level floor. If the radius of the spool is 71.7 cm and the spool makes 4.2 revolutions, what length of wire (in cm) is unwound?
Express your answer to three significant digits and do not include the units cm in your answer.
