alphonsio

A vehicle with a 160 mm diameter wheel turning at 100 rpm travels at a speed of approximatively 3.016 kilometers per hour.

v(km.h−1)=325.π.r.N(rpm)v_{ (km.h^{-1}) } = \dfrac {3}{25}. \pi. r . N_{(rpm)}
v(km.h−1)=325×π×0.08×100v_{ (km.h^{-1}) } = \dfrac {3}{25} \times \pi \times 0.08 \times 100
v(km.h−1)≈3.015928947446201 km/hv_{ (km.h^{-1}) } \approx 3.015928947446201 \text{ km/h}


To convert 100 RPM100 \, \text{RPM} (Revolutions Per Minute) into kilometers per hour ( km/h\text{km/h} ) for wheels with a diameter of 160 mm160 \, \text{mm}, follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the circumference of the wheel

The circumference of a wheel is given by:
Circumference=π×Diameter.\text{Circumference} = \pi \times \text{Diameter}.

For a wheel diameter of 160 mm160 \, \text{mm}:
Circumference=π×160 mm=502.65 mm.\text{Circumference} = \pi \times 160 \, \text{mm} = 502.65 \, \text{mm}.

Convert this to meters:
Circumference=502.65 mm÷1000=0.50265 m.\text{Circumference} = 502.65 \, \text{mm} \div 1000 = 0.50265 \, \text{m}.

Step 2: Calculate the distance traveled in one minute

At 100 RPM100 \, \text{RPM}, the wheel completes 100100 revolutions in one minute. The distance traveled per minute is:
Distance per minute=100×Circumference.\text{Distance per minute} = 100 \times \text{Circumference}.

Substitute the circumference:
Distance per minute=100×0.50265 m=50.265 m.\text{Distance per minute} = 100 \times 0.50265 \, \text{m} = 50.265 \, \text{m}.

Step 3: Convert to meters per hour

There are 60 minutes60 \, \text{minutes} in an hour, so the distance traveled per hour is:
Distance per hour=50.265 m/min×60 min/h=3015.9 m/h.\text{Distance per hour} = 50.265 \, \text{m/min} \times 60 \, \text{min/h} = 3015.9 \, \text{m/h}.

Convert meters per hour to kilometers per hour:
Distance per hour=3015.9 m/h÷1000=3.0159 km/h.\text{Distance per hour} = 3015.9 \, \text{m/h} \div 1000 = 3.0159 \, \text{km/h}.

Final Answer:

At 100 RPM100 \, \text{RPM} with 160 mm160 \, \text{mm} diameter wheels, the speed is approximately:
3.016 km/h.\boxed{3.016 \, \text{km/h}}.
