Question 10

State the linear velocity of the wheel, and explain why your answer is reasonable.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

The linear velocity is 40π feet per minute, or about 125.7 feet per minute. Each revolution covers the wheel’s circumference, 4π feet, so 10 revolutions per minute gives 10 × 4π = 40π feet per minute.
