Answer:

6 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are in the ratio 3 : 7 = 3x : 7x (x is a multiplier )

adding 1 to smaller number is 3x + 1 and 7 to the larger is 7x + 7, then

3x + 1 : 7x + 7 = 1 : 3

Expressing the ratio in fractional form

\frac{3x+1}{7x+7} = \frac{1}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3(3x + 1) = 7x + 7

9x + 3 = 7x + 7 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

2x + 3 = 7 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

Thus the numbers are

3x = 3(2) = 6

7x = 7(2) = 14

A wheel initially has an angular velocity of 18 rad/s, but it is slowing at a constant rate of 2 rad/s 2 . By the time it stops,
Kaylis [27]

Answer:13 revolution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  data

Wheel initial angular velocity\left ( \omega \right )=18 rad/s

Contant angular deaaceleration\left ( \alpha \right )=2rad/s^2

Time required to stop wheel completely=t sec

\omega =\omega_0 + \aplha t

0 =18 +\left ( -2\right )t

t=9 sec

Therefore angle turn in 9 sec

\theta=\omega_{0} t+\frac{1}{2}\left ( \alpha\right )t^{2}

\theta=18\times 9+\frac{1}{2}\left ( -2\right )\left ( 9\right )^2

\theta=81rad

therefore no of turns(n) =\frac{81}{2\times \pi}

n=12.889\approx13 revolution
