Question

If the mine winch drum diameter is 6 m, calculate how far the counterweight will lift for each single rotation of the drum

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rough answer uses the formula for the circumference of the drum: c = diameter at the cable layer. x pi

If the cable layer is at the drum diameter of 6m,

C = 6m x pi

C = about 18.8 m

If the cable is on a different layer with a different diameter, the answer will be different.

Answer 2

Give,

The Diameter of the Drum is $6m$

We have to calculate the counterweight that will lift for every single rotation of the drum.

Here we have to use the formula of circumference i.e.

$C=2\pi r$

Now $r=\frac{D}{2} \\r=\frac{6}{2}$

Further solving for radius we get,

$r=3$

Now substituting the value in the above circumference formula we get,

$C=2*\pi *3$

We get,

$C=6*\pi \\C=18.849m$

Therefore the counterweight will lift $18.849m$ for every single rotation of the drum.
