Problem 51

Distance A tractor tire that is 5 feet in diameter $d$ is partially filled with a liquid ballast for additional traction. To check the air pressure, the tractor operator rotates the tire until the valve stem is at the top so that the liquid will not enter the gauge. On a given occasion, the operator notes that the tire must be rotated $80^{\circ}$ to have the stem in the
proper position ( see figure).
(a) Find the radian measure of this rotation.
(b) How far must the tractor be moved to get the valve stem in the proper position?
