Train speed 72 km / h How many revolutions per minute does a carriage wheel with a radius of 1.2 m?

The circumference of the wheel is:
L = 2ΠR, where R is the radius of the car wheel (R = 1.2 m).
L = 2ΠR = 2 * 3.14 * 1.2 = 7.5236 m.
The resulting distance will correspond to one revolution of the wheel.
Train speed: V = 72 km / h = 72 * 1000/60 m / min = 1200 m / min.
Let’s calculate the number of revolutions per minute:
rpm = V / L = 1200 / 7.5236 ≈ 160.
Answer:   The carriage wheel makes 160 revolutions per minute.
