an electric hoist is used to life a piece of equipment y = 2.6 feet. the diameter on the hoist is x = 12 inches. find the number of degrees through which the drum must rotate (round to the nearest integer).

*I do apologize, there is a figure in my question, but I cannot paste it here

1 answer

a complete turn of the hoist is π ft
a complete turn is 360°

So, the hoist turns through

(2.6/π) * 360°
