Algebra.Com's Answer #389832 by lwsshak3(11628)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the wheel on a truck are turning at 430 revolution per minutes as the truck travels 40 miles per hour. What is the radius of the wheel? \n" ); document.write( "** \n" ); document.write( "The problem is to find the distance the wheels travel per revolution. \n" ); document.write( "This distance=circumference of the wheel from which you can calculate the radius. \n" ); document.write( ".. \n" ); document.write( "2πr=(40 mi/hr)/(400 rev/min) \n" ); document.write( "=40 mi/hr*min/400 rev*hr/60 min*5280 ft/mi \n" ); document.write( "mi, hr, min & rev, cancel out, leaving: \n" ); document.write( "40*5280 ft/400*60=8.8 ft \n" ); document.write( "2πr=8.8ft \n" ); document.write( "r=8.8/2π=1.4 ft (radius of wheel) \n" ); document.write( " |
