An electric hoist is used to lift a beam y = 1.8 feet. The diameter of the drum on the hoist is x = 9 inches. Find the number of degrees through which the drum must rotate.answer is 275.020.. idk how to get it though
The drum must rotate through 1.8 feet (21.6 inches) of its circumference. Its total circumference is 9pi inches = 28.274... inches That rotation is 21.6 / 28.274... of its total circumference (total circum represents a complete turn through 360 degrees) 21.6 / 28.274... (360) = 275.01974... degrees
