A wheel spins around exactly 6 times. How many radians does that correspond to?
The number of radians corresponding to the spinning of a wheel 6 times.
Answer to Problem 17SP
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
The number of times the wheel spins is 6.
Formula used:
Since number of radians covered in one rotation is
Explanation:
Consider the expression for number of radians covered during the spinning of a wheel
Here,
Understand that the wheel spins 6 times. Therefore, substitute 6 for
Conclusion:
The spinning of the wheel 6 times corresponds to

- A merry-go-round is stationary. A clog is running around the merry-go-round on the ground just outside its circumference, moving with a constant angular speed of 0.750 rad/s. The dog does not change his pace when he sees what he has been looking for: a bone resting on the edge of the merry-go-round one- third of a revolution in front of him. At the instant the dog sees the bone (t = 0), the merry-go-round begins to move in the direction the dog is running, with a constant angular acceleration of 0.015 0 rad/s2.
