I. Sexagesimal System uses the unit of degrees. Furthermore, the degree can be
divided into minutes and seconds.
where:
1 revolution = 360 degrees
or
(1 rev = 360)
1 degree = 60 minutes
or
(1 = 60')
1 minute = 60 seconds
or
(1' = 60")
Remarks:
1 revolution = 2

MIL system = used in artillery and other military applications, employs a unit called the
mil.
where:
Example 4: Two points, A and B, are 50 yards apart and 2000 yards away. How many
mils should they subtend? (Fig. 3)

Solution:
Let:
Example 5: An observer measures the angular distance between two points, A and B,
5000 yards away, to be 30 mils. How far apart are A and B?
Solution:
Let:
5000 (30)
1000
= 150 yd
Or at 5000 yd, 1 mil subtends 5 yd; therefore 30 mils subtends 150 yd.
100 (1000)
40
= 2500 yd
Or 40 mils corresponds to 100 yd; therefore 1 mil corresponds to 2.5 yd, but 2.5 yd is
1
of 2500 yd.

Example 8: The hour hand of a clock is 12 inches long. In a 50-minute class period,
a. through what angle (in degrees and radians) does the hand move?
b. how far does its tip move?
Solution:
a. Recall:
1 minute = 6
Also,
or
1 hour = 30
Since the hour hand moves in 50 minutes (min), it moves through an angle .

Example 16: An 8-inch diameter pulley drives a 6-inch diameter pulley. The larger
pulley makes 15 revolutions per second (rev/sec). What is the angular
velocity of the smaller pulley in rev/sec?
Solution:
Let

Apply:
Assuming that the belt connecting the two pulleys does not slip, the linear velocities
of a point on either circumference are the same.
