Question 1203364
.
A truck with 48-in.-diameter wheels is traveling at 50 mi/h.

Find the angular speed of the wheels in rad/min, *hint convert miles to inches & hours to minutes: 
   
How many revolutions per minute do the wheels make? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
1 mile = 5280 feet = 5280*12 inches = 63360 inches.


The wheel circumference is {{{pi*48}}} inches = 3.14159265*48 inches = 150.7964472 inches.


The number of revolutions of the wheel per minute is  rpm = {{{(((63360*50)/60))/150.7964472}}} = 350.1408752.
</pre>

Solved.


The formulas are self-explanatory.
