Suppose bug B lands on the end of the wiper blade closest to the pivot. Assume the wiper turns through an angle of 120°. In one
cycle of the wiper blade, how far has the bug traveled? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
1 answer:
Answer:
s = 8*π in
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- The complete data is given in the figure (attached):
Solution:
- The bugs lands on the end of the wiper blade closest to the pivot. The arc length (s) swept by a wiper in one cycle i.e θ = 120° would be given by:
s = 2*r*θ
- Where, r: The distance between the bug and the pivot = 6 in
θ : Angle swept in radians
- The distance travelled by the bug is s:
s = 2*(6)*( 120 / 180 ) * π
s = 8*π in
