A water wheel has a radius measuring between 13 feet and 24 feet. The wheel is able to turn 7π9 radians from its starting position before getting stuck. Which distances could the wheel spin before it would no longer be able move?

31.76 ft and 58.64 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius measures between 13 feet and 24 feet.

The wheel is able to turn 7π/9 radians before getting stuck.

We need to find the range of distances that the wheel could spin before getting stuck. That is, the length of arc.

Length of an arc is given as:

where θ = central angle = 7π/9 radians

r = radius of the circle

Therefore, for 13 feet:

For 24 feet:

The wheel could spin between 31.76 ft and 58.64 ft before getting stuck.
