two pulleys connected by a belt have 15cm and 8cm radius

The larger pulley rotates $25$ times in $36$ sec,

Find the angular speed of each pulleey in radians per second.

the 15cm pulley has circumferce of $30\pi$ so

$\displaystyle\frac{25\text { rev}}{36 \text {sec}}
\cdot\frac{30\pi\text{ cm}}{ rev}
=\frac{750\text{ cm\pi}}{36\text {sec}}
=\frac{65.5\text{ cm}\text{ rad}}{\text{sec}}$

not sure how to get the v of the $$ 8cm $$ pulley

Re: angular speed of 2 pulleys on a belt

This is how I would work the first part:

$$\frac{25\text{ rev}}{36\text{ s}}\cdot\frac{2\pi\text{ rad}}{1\text{ rev}}=\frac{25}{18}\pi\frac{\text{rad}}{\text{s}}$$

Angular speed should have units of radians/time.

Since the pulleys are connected by a belt, then the linear velocity of the outer edge of each pulley will be the same:

$$v_2=v_1$$

Using, $$v=r\omega$$, we may state:

$$r_2\omega_2=r_1\omega_1$$

Solve for $$\omega_2$$:

$$\omega_2=\frac{r_1}{r_2}\omega_1$$

Now let $$r_1=15\text{ cm},\,r_2=8\text{ cm},\,\omega_1=\frac{25}{18}\pi\frac{ \text{rad}}{\text{s}}$$

What do you find?

$\displaystyle\frac{15}{8}\cdot\frac{25}{18}\pi \text{ = } \frac{125}{48}\pi\ \frac{\text{rad}}{s}$
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
