The wheel of a motor cycle is of radius

   

cm. How many revolutions per minute must the wheel make so as to keep a speed of

   

km/h?

From the question Radius of wheel = r =

   

cm

We know that one revolution of the wheel is equal to Circumference of the wheel

i.e.,

   

=

   

=

   

cm

But, from the question it is given that,

Speed of the wheel is

   

km/hr

=

   

cm/min

=

   

cm/min

∴ Number of revolutions in one min =

   

Therefore,

   

revolutions per minute should be  made by the wheel make so as to keep a speed of

   

km/h
