Answer: 21.8 inches
Given:
A car is traveling at a speed of 50 miles per hour. Each wheel of the car makes 770 revolutions per minute.
To get the diameter of each car wheel
Get first the length of revolution (circumference of the wheel) in inches.
Speed=50 miles/hr
=50miles/60 minutes
= 0.833333 miles/minute
=.833/5280=4400ft= 52,800 inches/minute
Since there are 770 revolutions per minute, per revolution (circumference of the wheel) =
=52,800/770
=68.57 inches
Formula of diameter given the circumference is:
D=C/π
D=68.57/3.14
D= 21.8 inches
