A truck with 18-in.-diameter wheels is traveling at 45 mi/h.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "(b) How many revolutions per minute do the wheels make?
\n" ); document.write( "45 mi/hr = 66 ft/sec = 3960 ft/minute
\n" ); document.write( "Each revolution moves the truck the circumference, C = pi*d = 1.5pi feet
\n" ); document.write( "Rev/min = 3960/(1.5pi) = 2640/pi
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(a) Find the angular speed of the wheels in rad/min
\n" ); document.write( "= 2pi*rpm
\n" ); document.write( "= 5280 rad/minute
\n" ); document.write( "============================
\n" ); document.write( "Hint: we don't need hints
\n" ); document.write( "
