If I have a roll of saran wrap that has a material thickness of .0005" thick, and the roll is a 2000' long sheet, how many full revolutions of the center tube will it take to unravel the entire roll if it has a 6" overall diameter prior to unrolling? True gangsters will provide the diameter of the inner tube after unrolling.

First to answer this correctly gets $1 on paypal. Try to use calculus. Provide method or the answer does not count.

Yes I actually know the answer.

FTFW. Sage and report. Nothing to see here, folks.

No need to be a cunt in sci & math. I graduated from college in May, there's no homework left for me to do. I thought of this today when I was wrapping some watermelon up, about how the roll eventually gets smaller and smaller, which could effectively be a dx (dD in this case).

The answer is 3318.056 revolutions and final diameter of .682", so now someone just needs to prove they worked it out to get the same.

Will they never change?

Forgive my error:

3148.045 revolutions, ending diameter .852"

American power plants and aerospace companies use inch, pound-force, slugs, BTUh, and all of that shit. Cry about it, pussy.

All American researchers publish in metric.

Deal with it.
