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( " |
