The wheel of a motor cycle is of radius 35 cm. How many revolutions per minute must the wheel make so as to keep a speed of 66 km/h?
500 revolutions
Solution
Circumference of circle =
The speed of wheel = 66 km per hour =
= 1100 m/min
Radius = (because 1m = 100cm)
Circumference of wheel =
=2.2 m
The distance covered by wheel in one revolution = 2.2m
The number of resolution per minute to keep a speed of 66 km per hour = revolution
