Answer:
The linear velocity of the cable ≅ 327 feet per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the diameter of the drum = 8 feet
Radius of the drum =
=
= 4 feet
Radius of the drum = 4 feet
1 revolution = circumference of the drum
circumference of the drum = 2r
where r is the radius.
So that;
circumference of the drum = 2 x x 4
=
= 25.143
circumference of the drum = 25.143 feet
The linear velocity of the cable = (13 x 25.143) feet per minute
= 326.859 feet per minute
The linear velocity of the cable ≅ 327 feet per minute.
