A computer hard drive contains a circular disk with diameter 2.5 inches and spins at a rate of 7200 RPM (revolutions per minute)

. Find the linear speed of a point on the edge of the disk in miles per hour.

Now to solve this problem, all we have to remember is the formula for calculating the linear speed given the radial speed, that is:

v = r w

where,

v = is the linear velocity or linear speed

r = is the radius of the circular disk = (1 / 2) diameter = (1/ 2) (2.5 inches) = 1.25 inches

w = is the radial velocity (must be in rad per time) = 7200 rev per minute

 

Calculating for v:

v = 1.25 inches (7200 rev per minute) (2 π rad / 1 rev)

v = 56,548.67 inches / minute

 

Converting to miles per hour:

v = 56,548.67 inches / minute (1 mile / 63360 inches) (60 min / hour)

<span>v = 53.55 mile / hour</span>

Three consecutive integers have a sum of 87. Find the integers.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

28, 29, and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

There's probably better ways but you can estimate by knowing 30*3=90 so it should be somewhere pretty close to 30. Guess and check with basic calculations to get 28, 29, and 30.

A 25 ft ladder leans against a building. The ladder’s base is 13.5 feet from the building. Find the angle of elevation, which th
Goryan [66]

Answer:

57.3°

Step-by-step explanation:

A 25 feet ladder leans against a building.

The ladder's base is 13.5 feet from the building.

The ladder, the wall of the building and the ground form a right-angled triangle of:

Hypotenuse = 25 feet

Base = 13.5 feet

We are to find the angle of elevation which the ladder makes with the ground (or rather the angle created by hypotenuse and base)

Let's say the angle = X°

According to a trigonometric equation;

cos X° = adjacent side ÷ hypotenuse = \frac{13.5}{25} = 0.54

cos ^{-1} X = 57.5=3° (Answer rounded up to nearest one decimal place).

∴ The angle of elevation = 57.3°

What is a square a parallelogram but a parallelogram not a square a square
Alinara [238K]
A square has both parallel sides
being the top and bottom
but also both the sides 

AND so does a PARALLELogram
BUT a square has ALL right (90 d) angles 
and a parallelogram does NOT 

ALSO . . . . . SUMMARY . . . . .  
The sides of a square are parallel
and all the angles equal 360 degrees,
so it's a parallelogram. BUT a
parallelogram is NOT a square
because a squares angles need to be 90 degrees.

does that answer your question?
