Kindly, help me solve this question it is urgent!
I have never solved this type of question.
A wheel of radius 40cm is turning about a fixed axis through the centre of the wheel at acentre rate of 2 revolutions per minute. Calculate the
(a) Angle through which the wheel turns in 10 seconds.
(b) Distance moved by a point on the rim in 10 seconds.
I hope someone will solve it. I shall be highly obliged to you.
Thanks,

A wheel of radius 40cm is turning about a fixed axis through the centre of the wheel at acentre rate of 2 revolutions per minute. Calculate the
(a) Angle through which the wheel turns in 10 seconds.
It turns 720º in 60 seconds (2 revolutions in 1 minute).
That's 12º per second.
12º/sec x 10 sec = 120º
-------------------------
(b) Distance moved by a point on the rim in 10 seconds.
It moves 120º as determined above. That's 1/3 of a revolution.
The circumference is 40*2pi cm = 80pi
120º is 1/3 of that.
s = 80pi/3
s =~ 83.776 cm
