( ). (a) What length (in decimeters) is
removed as the spool turns through 5 rad? (b) How
many decimeters are removed in one complete turn
of the spool?
100. Barrel races: In the barrel
races popular at some family
reunions, contestants stand on
a hard rubber barrel with a
radius of 1 cubit
( ), and try to
“walk the barrel” from the
start line to the finish line
without falling. (a) What
distance (in cubits) is traveled
as the barrel is walked
through an angle of 4.5 rad?
(b) If the race is 25 cubits
long, through what angle will the winning barrel
walker walk the barrel?
Interplanetary measurement: In the year 1905,
astronomers began using astronomical units or AU to study
the distances between the celestial bodies of our solar
system. One AU represents the average distance between
the Earth and the Sun, which is about 93 million miles.
Pluto is roughly 39.24 AU from the Sun.
101. If the Earth travels through an angle of 2.5 rad
about the Sun, (a) what distance in astronomical
units (AU) has it traveled? (b) How many AU does
it take for one complete orbit around the Sun?
102. If you include the dwarf planet Pluto, Jupiter is the
middle (fifth of nine) planet from the Sun. Suppose
astronomers had decided to use its average distance
1 cubit 18 in.
1t 22
1 dm 10 cm from the Sun as 1 AU. In this case, 1 AU would be
480 million miles. If Jupiter travels through an
angle of 4 rad about the Sun, (a) what distance in
the “new” astronomical units (AU) has it traveled?
(b) How many of the new AU does it take to
complete one-half an orbit about the Sun? (c) What
distance in the new AU is the dwarf planet Pluto
from the Sun?
103. Compact disk circumference:A standard compact
disk has a radius of 6 cm. Call this length “1 unit.”
Mark a starting point on any large surface, then
carefully roll the compact disk along this line
without slippage, through one full revolution
( rad) and mark this spot. Take an accurate
measurement of the resulting line segment. Is the
result close to “units” ( )?
104. Verifying :
On a protractor,
carefully measure
the distance from
the middle of the
protractor’s eye to
the edge of the
protractor along the
mark, to the
nearest half-millimeter. Call this length “1 unit.”
Then use a ruler to draw a straight line on a blank
sheet of paper, and with the protractor on edge,
start the zero degree mark at one end of the line,
carefully roll the protractor until it reaches 1 radian
, and mark this spot. Now measure the
length of the line segment created. Is it very close
to 1 “unit” long?

EXTENDING THE CONCEPT
105. In this section, we discussed the domain of the
circular functions, but said very little about their
range. Review the concepts presented here and
determine the range of and . In
other words, what are the smallest and largest
output values we can expect?
106. Since what can you say about the
range of the tangent function?
