(a)
To find: The distance between the hub and the fly.
(a)
Answer to Problem 6PSA
The distance is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The fly is sitting at the midpoint of the wooden chord of a circular wheel.
The radius of the wheel is 10 cm and the chord is of 12 cm.
Calculation:
The chord bisects so a right
(b)
To find: The path of the fly when the wheel is spun.
(b)
Answer to Problem 6PSA
The fly path is a
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The fly is sitting at the midpoint of the wooden chord of a circular wheel.
The radius of the wheel is 10 cm and the chord is of 12 cm.
Calculation:
The chord bisects so a right angle triangle is formed with the hypotenuse as radius and the sides of 10 and 6 and the distance from the centre to the fly is,
The pat of the fly is a circle as the fly is still and it is at the end of a radius of a smaller circle.
