  • You have taken your little cousin to the amusement park for the day. While there, she decides she would like a ride on the carousel. After the ride, she excitedly bounces over to you. She is amazed that she went around, but in a way ‘‘didn't go anywhere’’, since she ended up where she started.
    ::你带小表妹去游乐园玩了一天,她决定搭顺风车,在车后,她兴奋地跳到你身边。她很惊讶她绕圈子,但从某种意义上说,她没有去任何地方,因为她从她开始的地方来到了那里。

    ‘‘How far did I go when I was halfway around the turn?’’, she asks.
    ::转弯时我走了多远?

    You know that the radius of the carousel is 7 meters. Can you tell your little cousin how far she went in one half of a turn around the ride?
    ::你知道旋转木马的半径是7米 你能告诉你的小表弟 她转半圈的车程有多远吗?

    Length of an Arc
    ::弧的长度

    The length of an arc on a circle depends on both the angle of rotation and the radius length of the circle. If you recall from the last lesson, the measure of an angle in radians is defined as the length of the arc cut off by one radius length. What if the radius is 4 cm? Then, the length of the half-circle arc would be π multiplied by the radius length, or 4 π cm in length.
    ::圆的弧长度取决于圆的旋转角度和圆的半径长度。如果您从最后一个课中记得,弧度中角的测量值被定义为弧以半径长度截断的弧长度。如果半径为 4 厘米呢? 那么半圆弧的长度会乘以 + 乘以半径长度, 或 4 cm 长度。

    This results in a formula that can be used to calculate the length of any arc.
    ::这将产生一个公式, 可用于计算任何弧的长度 。

    s = r θ ,

    ::s=r,

    where s is the length of the arc, r is the radius, and θ is the measure of the angle in radians.
    ::s 是弧的长度, r 是半径, \ 是以弧度衡量角。

    Solving this equation for θ will give us a formula for finding the given the arc length and the radius length.
    ::解决 % 的方程将给我们一个公式, 找到给定的弧长度和半径长度 。

    Let's look at some problems involving arc length. 
    ::让我们来看看一些问题 涉及弧长度。

    1. Find the length of the arcs
    ::1. 查找弧的长度

    The free-throw line on an NCAA basketball court is 12 ft wide. In international competition, it is only about 11.81 ft. How much longer is the half circle above the free-throw line on the NCAA court?
    ::NCAA篮球场的自由发射线宽12英尺,在国际竞争中,只有11.81英尺。 NCAA法院的自由发射线上方的半圈还有多久?

    Find both arc lengths.
    ::查找两个弧长度 。

    NCAA INTERNATIONAL s 1 = r θ s 2 = r θ s 1 = 12 2 ( π ) s 2 11.81 2 ( π ) s 1 = 6 π s 2 5.905 π

    ::NCAINTIONs1=rQs2=rQs1=122()s211.812()s1=6Qs25.905}

    So the answer is approximately 6 π 5.905 π 0.095 π
    ::所以答案大约是 65.9050.095

    This is approximately 0.3 ft, or about 3.6 inches longer.
    ::大约为0.3英尺,或3.6英寸长。

    2. Two connected gears are rotating. The smaller gear has a radius of 4 inches and the larger gear’s radius is 7 inches. What is the angle through which the larger gear has rotated when the smaller gear has made one complete rotation?
    ::2. 两个连接的齿轮在旋转,较小的齿轮半径为4英寸,较大的齿轮半径为7英寸。

    lesson content

    Because the blue gear performs one complete rotation, the length of the arc traveled is:
    ::因为蓝色渔具是一个完整的旋转, 航程的弧长度是:

    s = r θ s = 4 × 2 π

    ::s=rs=4×2

    So, an 8 π arc length on the larger circle would form an angle as follows:
    ::因此,大圆上的8-弧长度将形成如下角度:

    θ = s r θ = 8 π 7 θ 3.6

    ::873.6

    So the angle is approximately 3.6 radians.
    ::角度大约是3.6弧度

    3.6 × 180 π 206

    3. The radius of a standard car tire is 27.94 cm. How far does a car go in one revolution of the tire?
    ::3. 标准车胎半径为27.94厘米。 一辆车在一次轮胎革命中能走多远?

    lesson content

    Since the distance traveled by the tire is equal to the distance around the tire, we can use the circumference of the tire to answer the question.
    ::由于轮胎行驶的距离相当于轮胎周围的距离,我们可以使用轮胎的环绕来回答问题。

    s = r θ s = ( 27.94 ) ( 2 π ) s = 175.46

    ::s=rs=(27.94)(2)s=175.46

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were asked can you tell your little cousin how far she went in one half of a turn around the ride. 
    ::之前有人问过你 你能告诉你的小表弟 她转半圈的车程有多远吗?

    Since you now know that you can measure an arc length using s = r θ , you can use this to find a solution to your cousin's question. Since your cousin wants to know how far she went around when she went 1 2 of a rotation, and the radius of the ride is 7 meters, you can calculate her arc length:
    ::既然你现在知道可以使用 s=r 来测量弧长度, 您可以用这个来找到解决你堂兄问题的办法。 由于你的堂弟想知道当她转12圈时她走多远, 车的半径是7米, 您可以计算她的弧长度 :

    s = r θ = 7 π 21.98 m e t e r s
    ::21.98 公尺

     

    Example 2
    ::例2

    You are trying to push your car after it has broken down. Unfortunately, you aren't very strong, and so the car is just rocking back and forth instead of rolling as you push. If the radius of your car's tire is 14 inches, and the change in the tire's angle is π 2 radians, how far did the tire move?
    ::你试图在车坏了之后推车。 不幸的是,你并不很强壮,所以汽车只是来回摇晃,而不是在推车时滚动。如果车胎的半径是14英寸,轮胎角度的改变是2弧度,轮胎移动了多远?

    Since the distance the tire moved is equal to the length of the arc the tire rolled, you can use the equation s = r θ to determine how far the tire went:
    ::由于轮胎移动的距离等于轮胎滚动弧的长度,你可以使用方程式s=r确定轮胎走多远:

    s = r θ s = ( 14 ) ( π 2 ) s = 7 π s 21.98 i n

    ::s=rs=( 14) (%2)s= 7s=21. 98in

     

    Example 3
    ::例3

    If an object with a radius of 10 cm spins so that its arc covers 54 cm, what is the change in angle of the object?
    ::如果一个半径为 10 厘米旋转的物体使其弧覆盖54 厘米,则对象角度的变化是什么?

     

    You can again use the equation s = r θ to solve this problem:
    ::您可以再次使用公式 s=r 来解决这个问题 :

    s = r θ θ = s r = 54 10 = 5.4

    ::s=rsr=5410=5.4

    The disk moves 5.4 radians, which is a little less than a complete rotation, since a complete rotation is approximately 6.28 radians.
    ::磁盘移动5.4弧度,略低于完全旋转,因为完全旋转约为6.28弧度。

    Example 4
    ::例4

    If your DVD has a radius of 4.5 inches, how far does a point on the disk spin if the player turns it π 2 radians?
    ::如果您的 DVD 半径为 4.5 英寸, 如果播放器旋转 2 弧度, 磁盘旋转的点有多远 ?

    Using s = r θ ,
    ::使用 s=r,

    s = r θ s = ( 4.5 ) ( π 2 ) s = 2.25 π 7.065

    ::s=rs=(4.5)(2)s=2.257.65

    A point on the disk turns 7.065 inches.
    ::磁盘上的一个点翻转7.065英寸
