Angular Speed and Linear Speed In an automobile transmission a gear ratio is the ratio

The angular speed of the engine is shown on the tachometer (in rpm). A certain sports car has wheels with radius . Its gear ratios are shown in the following table. Suppose the car is in fourth gear and the tachometer reads .

Find the angular speed of the engine.

Doppler Effect When a car with its horn blowing drives by an observer, the pitch of the horn seems higher as it approaches and lower as it recedes (see the figure below). This phenomenon is called the Doppler Effect. If the sound source is moving at speed relative to the observer and if the speed of sound is, then the perceived frequency is related to the actual frequency as follows.

We choose the minus sign if the source is moving toward the observer and the plus sign if it is moving away. Suppose that a car drives at past a woman standing on the shoulder of a highway, blowing its horn, which has a frequency of 500 Hz. Assume that the speed of sound is . (This is the speed in dry air at .)

Let be the amplitude of the sound. Find functions of the form that model the perceived sound as the car approaches the woman and as it recedes.

: The Rotary Engine. The Mazda RX-8 uses an unconventional engine (invented by Felix Wankel in 1954) in which the pistons are replaced by a triangular rotor that turns in a special housing as shown in the figure on the next page. The vertices of the rotor maintain contact with the housing at all times, while the center of the triangle traces out a circle of radius r, turning the drive shaft. The shape of the housing is given by the parametric equations below (where R is the distance between the vertices and center of the rotor):

Suppose that the drive shaft has radius . Graph the curve given by the parametric equations for the following values of
