minute. The motor is attached to a pulley with a diameter of 4.6 inches. The drill bit is attached to a pulley with a diameter of 2 inches. Someone notices that the drill bit is turningat6200 rpm. Is it possible for the drill bit to be running at 6200 rpm?(you must show mathematically whether this is possible or not). If it is possible, why? If it is not possible, what is the likely issue?
