Problem data: V (linear speed of a bicycle wheel) = 72 km / h (in SI V = 20 m / s); D (wheel diameter) = 90 cm (SI D = 0.9 m).

We express the frequency with which a given bicycle wheel rotates from the formula: V = Π * D * ν, whence ν = V / (Π * D).

Let’s calculate: ν = 20 / (3 * 0.9) ≈ 7.4 Hz.

Answer: The bicycle wheel will rotate at 7.4 Hz.
