Question 1083376: Suppose a dirt bike race is taking place on a flat surface 5 m above the ground. Suppose one of the bike wheels has a radius of 26.2 cm and it has a nail stuck in it. What is the maximum height that the nail obtains in cm with respect to the ground?

The nail would be (5m + (2*radius)) at its maximum height.
Using cm:
500cm + 2*26.2cm = 552.4cm
