city's cable cars travel by clamping onto a steel cable that circulates in a channel beneath the streets. This cable is driven by a large 14-foot-diameter pulley, called a sheave. The sheave turns at a rate of 25 revolutions per minute. Find the speed of the cable car, in miles per hour, by determining the linear velocity of the cable. (1 mi = 5,280 ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.) _____mph
