The train speed is 20 meters per second. The circumference of its wheel is 2.4 meters. How many revolutions does a carriage wheel make in 3 minutes?
Converting the train travel time from minutes to seconds.
Since 1 minute has 60 seconds, it will be:
3 * 60 = 180 seconds.
We find the distance that the train will travel in the specified time.
We multiply its speed by time.
20 * 180 = 3600 meters.
To find the number of revolutions that a train wheel will complete in a given time, divide the distance traveled by the wheel’s circumference.
3600 / 2.4 = 1500 rpm.
Answer: The wheel will rotate 150 times.
