Homework Statement
A vacuum cleaner belt is looped over a shaft of radius
0.45 cm and a wheel of radius 1.80 cm. The arrangement of the
belt, shaft, and wheel is similar to that of the chain and sprockets in
Fig. Q9.4. (Just like a bicycle).The motor turns the shaft at 60 rev/s, and the moving
belt turns the wheel, which in turn is connected by another shaft to
the roller that beats the dirt out of the rug being vacuumed. Assume
that the belt doesn’t slip on either the shaft or the wheel. (a) What
is the speed of a point on the belt? (b) What is the angular velocity
of the wheel, in rad/s??
