During 0.24 s, a wheel rotates through an angle of 2.42 rad as a point on the periphery of the wheel moves with a constant speed of 2.48 m/s. What is the radius of the wheel?
Distance travelled by point on periphery=angular displacement*radius
=2.42r
Also distance covered=speed*time
=2.48*0.24=0.5952 m
Equating both:
2.42r=0.5952
r=0.246 m
