An electric hoist is used to lift a piece of equipment 2 feet. The diameter of the drum on the hoist is 10 inches. Find the number of degrees through which the drum must rotate.
First decide if you want to work in inches (my recommendation) or feet. Make a sketch. the rope wraps around the drum. 360 deg = circumference of the drum C = pi * D or 31.41 inches.... did this hint help?
