The distance a wheel travels is = to the circumference, so C=60inches. Since C=2∏r, r=C/(2∏)
r=60/(2∏)
r=30/∏ inches, or ~9.54929659 inches

When does a wheel and axle have a mechanical advantage greater than one?
When the radius of the wheel is larger than the radius of the axle - which is almost always true.When the radius of the wheel is larger than the radius of the axle - which is almost always true.When the radius of the wheel is larger than the radius of the axle - which is almost always true.When the radius of the wheel is larger than the radius of the axle - which is almost always true.
What is the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?
The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the ratio of the radius of the wheel to the radius of the axle.
If a wheel on an automobile has a 14.75 inch radius how far dose the automobile travel with each complete rotation of the wheel?
If it doesn't slip, it travels one circumference of the rim with each rotation.The circumference = (2 pi) times (the radius) = (2 pi) x (14.75) = 92.677 inches. (rounded)
What is the radius of one wheel on a truck that turns 330 times in a one mile trip?
1 mile = 5280 feet The wheel turns 330 times in 1 mile ie 330 times for 5280 feet So each turn of the wheel = 5280/330 = 176 feet. So, if r is the radius of the wheel, its circumference is 2*pi*r and 2*pi*r = 16 feet so pi*r = 8 feet and r = 8/pi feet = 2.55 feet.
How many turns must a bicycle wheel make of radius 0.5m make to travel a distance of 100m?
A wheel with a radius of 0.5m has a circumference of 2πr metres. In this example, 2πr = 2π x 0.5 = π metres. The wheel makes 100/π turns when travelling 100 metres, that is 31.831 turns.
The MA of a wheel and axle can be calculated by the ratio of the radius of the wheel to the radius of the axle. If an axle has a radius of 2 in and the wheel has a radius of 6 in what is the MA of the?

A Ferris wheel has radius 50 ft A person takes a seat and the wheel turns 2pi over 3 how far is the person from the ground?
He is 75 feet high.
What is the IMA of a wheel and axle?
The IMA of a wheel and axle is the radius of wheel divided by the radius of the axle.
When does a wheel and axle have a mechanical advantage greater than one?
When the radius of the wheel is larger than the radius of the axle - which is almost always true.When the radius of the wheel is larger than the radius of the axle - which is almost always true.When the radius of the wheel is larger than the radius of the axle - which is almost always true.When the radius of the wheel is larger than the radius of the axle - which is almost always true.
The IMA of the wheel and axle can be found by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the?
Axle.
What is the radius of a wheel with a diameter of 27.6cm?
Radius of wheel: 27.6/2 = 13.8cm
If the radius of a wheel is 0.6m how far would the bike travel in 40 turns of the wheel?
get the circumference of the circle using 2*pi*r (1.2*pi) times that by 40 to get the answer (48*pi)
What is the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?
The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the ratio of the radius of the wheel to the radius of the axle.
If a wheel on an automobile has a 14.75 inch radius how far dose the automobile travel with each complete rotation of the wheel?
If it doesn't slip, it travels one circumference of the rim with each rotation.The circumference = (2 pi) times (the radius) = (2 pi) x (14.75) = 92.677 inches. (rounded)
The diameter of kity's bicycle wheel is 24 inches what is the radius of the wheel?
Radius of the wheel: 24/2 = 12 inches
What is the mechanical advantage of a a wheel and axel?
The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the ratio of the radius of the wheel to the radius of the axle. Ex:- Suppose the radius of the wheel is four times greater than the radius of the axle, every time you turn the wheel once, your force will be multiplied four times.
