Answer:

simple

Explanation:

The radius of the wheel can be solved from its given speed and RPM.

Converting km/h to m/min

speed = 66 km / h = 66000 m / 60 min

speed = 1100 m / min

Converting one revolution to meters

1100 m / min = 500 revolution / min ... (given)

500 revolutions = 1100 m

1 revolution = 2.2 m

Solving for the radius of the wheels in meters

1 revolution = 2.2 m

2 * pi * radius = 2.2 m

radius = 2.2 m / 2 * pi

radius = 1.1 m / pi

radius = 0.3501 m
