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)=253.π.r.N(rpm)
v(km.h−1)=253×π×0.08×100
v(km.h−1)≈3.015928947446201 km/h
To convert 100RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) into kilometers per hour ( km/h ) for wheels with a diameter of 160mm, follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the circumference of the wheel
The circumference of a wheel is given by:
Circumference=π×Diameter.
For a wheel diameter of 160mm:
Circumference=π×160mm=502.65mm.
Convert this to meters:
Circumference=502.65mm÷1000=0.50265m.
Step 2: Calculate the distance traveled in one minute
At 100RPM, the wheel completes 100 revolutions in one minute. The distance traveled per minute is:
Distance per minute=100×Circumference.
Substitute the circumference:
Distance per minute=100×0.50265m=50.265m.
Step 3: Convert to meters per hour
There are 60minutes in an hour, so the distance traveled per hour is:
Distance per hour=50.265m/min×60min/h=3015.9m/h.
Convert meters per hour to kilometers per hour:
Distance per hour=3015.9m/h÷1000=3.0159km/h.
Final Answer:
At 100RPM with 160mm diameter wheels, the speed is approximately:
3.016km/h.
