Question

A sod roller of radius 14.25 cm turns at 10 revolutions per second. What is the linear velocity of the roller in meters per second? 4.47 m/s2.85 m/s1.42 m/s8.95 m/s

Answer 1

The linear velocity is given by the formula:

`v=(s)/(t)`

Where s=θr, r is the radius and θ is in radians.

Then s is:

`\begin{gathered} s=20\pi\text{ /s}\cdot0.1425m \\ s=8.95m/s \end{gathered}`
