This article cleverly uses trigonometry and some algebra in an real life situation. Math professors or teachers could use it in their classes. Deleting this article would be unnecessary in my opinion as it would be like throwing away knowledge.

Cleanup

I tripped over this article while browsing Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Current activity, so I started cleaning up the formatting, then realised that the worked solution was much too long and the expression for the belt length was not stated in its simplest terms, so I simplified it all, and added the corresponding expression for the "pulley problem" solution. But I can't find any references that show that "belt problem" or "pulley problem" are standard terms, and I am not convinced that Wikipedia needs an article on a couple of straightforward trigonometry exercises. So if someone were to nominate this article for deletion, I wouldn't object. Gandalf61 14:55, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion is unessecary

This article should not be subjected to deletion. It is not a trigonometry excersise, and it is used in real life. Acince this is an encyclopedia, it should include systems used in real life, and even if there arn't other problems realted to this anywherelse, it is used in real life, so there is no reason it should be deleted.

Math use

This article cleverly uses trigonometry and some algebra in an real life situation. Math professors or teachers could use it in their classes. Deleting this article would be unnecessary in my opinion as it would be like throwing away knowledge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.42.81.121 (talk) 02:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
