Answer:

The present age of the mother is 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the mother be M and that of the daughter D. Given that the mother is now 2 1/2 times old as her daughter Mary then

M = 2.5D

Given that Four years ago the ratio of their ages was 3:1

The mother's age 4 years ago was

= M - 4

and that of the daughter then was

= D - 4

Hence

(M - 4)/(D - 4) = 3/1

Cross multiply

M - 4 = 3(D - 4)

M - 4  = 3D - 12

M = 3D - 12 + 4

M = 3D - 8

Substitute into the first equation

3D - 8 = 2.5D

3D -2.5D = 8

0.5D = 8

D = 8/0.5

= 16 Years

M = 2.5D

M = 2.5 * 16

= 40 Years

A gear with a diameter of 12.0 inches makes 35 revolutions every three minutes. Find the linear and angular velocities of a poin
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Angular velocity: \omega = \frac{7\pi}{18} \,\frac{rad}{s} (1.222\,\frac{rad}{s})

Linear velocity: v = \frac{14\pi}{3}\,\frac{m}{s} (14.661\,\frac{m}{s})

Step-by-step explanation:

The gear experiments a pure rotation with axis passing through its center, the angular (\omega), in radians per second, and linear velocities (v), in inches per second, of a point on the outer edge of the element are, respectively:

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{60}\cdot \dot n (1)

v = R\cdot \omega (2)

Where:

\dot n - Rotation rate, in revolutions per minute.

R - Radius of the gear, in inches.

If we know that \dot n = \frac{35}{3}\,\frac{rev}{min} and R = 12\,in, then the linear and angular velocities of the gear are, respectively:

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{60}\cdot \dot n

\omega = \frac{7\pi}{18} \,\frac{rad}{s} (1.222\,\frac{rad}{s})

v = R\cdot \omega

v = \frac{14\pi}{3}\,\frac{m}{s} (14.661\,\frac{m}{s})
