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>

umka21 [38]
This is probably way overcomplicated but i cant remember how to do it
w = n
l = 2n+1
w*l = 66
n(2n+1) = 66
2n^2 + n =66
2n^2 + n - 66 = 0
using quadratic equation

n = 11/2

width = 11/2 = 5.5
length = 11 + 1 = 12

GIVING BRAINLIEST AND 20 points!
mestny [16]

Answer:

The answer is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(3y+6+3)=196−16

(2)(3y)+(2)(6)+(2)(3)=196+−16(Distribute)

6y+12+6=196+−16

(6y)+(12+6)=(196+−16)(Combine Like Terms)

6y+18=180

6y+18=180

Step 2: Subtract 18 from both sides.

6y+18−18=180−18

6y=162

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

6y

/6

=

162

/6

y=27
