12. Rotational Kinematics / More Connect Wheels (Bicycles) / Problem 5

A conveyor belt system has two sprockets that are connected by a belt. The driving sprocket that is powered by a motor has a radius Rd of 10.0 cm. The driven sprocket has a radius Rf of 5.0 cm. When the motor runs, the driving sprocket rotates with an angular velocity of ωd\omega_{d}. Calculate the ratio of the angular velocity ωf\omega_{f} of the driven sprocket to the angular velocity ωd\omega_{d} of the driving sprocket.
