At CHMSC Mechanic Shop a pulley system is used to lift engines from cars. The pulley system consists of a cable that goes around a pulley with a radius 6 feet. How many degrees of rotation are required for an engine to be lifted 24π feet?

1 answer

each rotation would pull it up by one circumference, which is
2πr ft or 12π ft

so what is 24π/(12π) ?

good heavens, why would you lift the engine this high??
