To calculate the wheel speed:
\[ S = \left[ 2 \times \pi \times \left(\frac{D}{2}\right) \right] \times \left(\frac{RPM}{60}\right) \]
Where:
Wheel speed refers to the instantaneous tangential velocity of a wheel rotating at a given RPM. It indicates how fast a point on the edge of the wheel is moving. This calculation is important for various applications, including vehicle speed measurement and machinery analysis.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Use the formula:
\[ S = \left[ 2 \times \pi \times \left(\frac{0.5}{2}\right) \right] \times \left(\frac{300}{60}\right) = \left[ \pi \times 0.25 \right] \times 5 = 1.9635 \times 5 = 9.82 \]
Step 2: Display the result:
The wheel speed is 9.82 meters per minute.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Use the formula:
\[ S = \left[ 2 \times \pi \times \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \right] \times \left(\frac{150}{60}\right) = \left[ \pi \times 1 \right] \times 2.5 = 3.1416 \times 2.5 = 7.85 \]
Step 2: Display the result:
The wheel speed is 7.85 meters per minute.
