Question

a pulley of radius 0.9m is used to lift a bucket from the well. if it took 3.6 rotations for the pulley to take water out of the well,how deep is water in the well?​

Answer 1

Answer:

h = 20.36[m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must calculate the perimeter (length of a circumference) of the circumference, which is denoted by the following equation:

L = 2*π*r

where:

r = radius = 0.9[m]

π = 3.1416

L = 2*(3.1416)*(0.9)

L = 5.654[m]

Now we know that the pulley or circumference had to rotate 3.6 times to get the water out of the well. In this way the depth of the well can be calculated by means of the following equation:

h = 3.6*L

h = 3.6*5.654

h = 20.36[m]
