A truck with 40-in.-diameter wheels is traveling at 50 mi/h.

a) Find the angular speed of the wheels in rad/min
b) How many revolutions per minute do the wheels make?

1 answer

40 in wheel has circumference 40pi inches

50 mi/hr = 52800 in/min

so, that's 52800/40pi rev/min

or, 52800/40pi * 2pi = 52800/20 = 2640 rad/min
