If the diameter is 2 feet, the circumference, 2(pi)r is equal to 6.28 feet. Each mile is 5,280 feet so the wheel must rotate 840.76 times to cover one mile. (ps - I'm not sure what you meant by the note to use 227 for pi.)

Surface speed of an eight inch diameter wheel at 2000 revolutions per minute?

The circumference of an 8-inch diameter wheel = d*pi = 8*pi. Each revolution will advance the wheel by one circumference, so 2000 revolutions per minute would be 2000 * 8 * pi = 1600pi feet per minute.

If a wagon wheel has a diameter of 70 centimeters how many revolutions would it take to travel 66 meters?

To figure out how long a revolution is you need to find the circumference of the wheel. If the diameter is 70 centimeters, then to get the circumference you multiply the diameter by pi (3.14). That equals 219.8. centimeters. Then you convert 66 meters into centimeters, and that is 6600. Then you divide 6600 by 219.8 and get 30 revolutions.


How many revolutions will a wheel make in travelling at 2 kilometers if its diameter is 700 millimeters?

If the diameter is 700 mm then the radius is 700/2 = 350mm The circumference of the circle is 2πr = 2π.350 = 2199.115 mm 1 kilometre = 1000 metres = 1000000 mm : 2km = 2000000mm Number of revolutions = distance travelled ÷ circumference of wheel. 2000000 ÷ 2199.115 = 909. 46 revolutions

Do bigger wheels roll faster then smaller wheels?

NO. The smaller the wheel the more revolutions it turns if both are driven at the same speed. So, the smaller the wheel the faster it turns.
