How can i calculate the radius of a circle given the length of string 1.2 meters that is revolving?
Calculating Radius of Circle from String Length
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the radius of a circle based on a string length of 1.2 meters that is revolving around it. The key point is the clarification needed regarding the term "revolving string," which implies that the string is wound around the circle's circumference. To find the radius, one can use the formula for the circumference of a circle, C = 2πr, where C is the length of the string. Thus, the radius can be calculated as r = C / (2π), resulting in a radius of approximately 0.191 meters.
