A stepping motor with 200 step angles is coupled to a leadscrew through a gear reduction of 5:1 (5 rotations of the motor for each rotation of the lead screw). The leadscrew has 2.4 threads/cm. The worktable driven by the leadscrew must move a distance = 25.0 cm at a feed rate = 75 cm/min. Determine (a) the number of pulses required to move the table, (b) the required motor speed, and (c) the pulse rate to achieve the desired table speed.
