A wheel 3.4 meters in radius rotated through 30 radians will move 3.4 metres x 30 = 102 metres along the ground. But hold the phone. You asked how far a point on the circumference would travel if the wheel is rotated through 30 radians. If you plot its path of travel, that point on the circumference makes a quirky trip. Know what a cycloid is? That's where we're going. Ready? Buckle up. A cycloid is the curve defined by a fixed point on a wheel as it rolls. To be more precise, it's the locus of a point fixed on the rim of a circle rolling along a straight line. Use the link to the Wikipedia post to see an aplet of exactly what you asked. All the math is there, too. But make sure you have a bit of knowledge of the calculus.
Circumference of circle = 7.2*pi meters
Circumference = 7.2*pi meters
The radius of a circle with a circumference of 42 meters is about 6.685 meters.
A circle with a radius of 21 meters has a circumference of 131.95 meters.
423.9 meters
The diameter (i.e. the length of the outside) of the wheel is 4.3 meters times Pi (3.14) or abut 13.5 meters.Circumference = 4.3 m x Pi = 4.3 x 3.14 = 13.5mFor a 30 degree rotation, the wagon will have moved forward a fraction of the wheel's circumference that is equal to the percentage of the wheel thatis represented by 30degrees. Since the circumference is represented by 360 dgrees, this percetange is 30/360.Distance moved = (percentage of circumference represented by 30 degrees)x(circumference)= (30 degrees/360 degrees)x(13.5m) = 1.125m or 1-1/8mFor a 30 rad rotation (rad=radians) , the wagon will have moved forward a multiple of the wheel's circumference that is equal to the multiple that is represented by 30radians. Since the there 2 times Pi radians per 360 degrees, there are 2xPi radians per circumference.Thirty radians (in terms of circumference) = (number of radians)/radians per one circumference) =(30 radians)(1 circumference/2 x Pi radians) =15/Pi circumferencesDistance moved = (multiple of circumference represented by 30 radians)x(circumference)= (15/Pi circumferences)x(4.3m x Pi) = 15x4.3 m = 64.5mFor 30 revolutions, the wagon will have moved forward 30 times the wheel's circumference because one revolution is equal to one circumference.Thirty revolutions = number of revolutions x (number of circumferences/revolution) = 30 rev x (1 rev/1 circumference) = 30 circumferencesDistance moved = (30 circumferences)x(13.5m) = 405m
-- Exact circumference = 2pi meters -- Approximate circumference = 6.283 meters
A circumference of 21.99 meters.
A circumference of 50.27 meters.
The circumference of a circle with a diameter of 23 meters is: 72.257 meters.
The circumference of a circle with a diameter of 13.4 meters is: 42.1 meters (diameter x Pi = circumference).
The circumference is 18.76 meters.
Circumference of circle = 7.2*pi meters
Circumference = 7.2*pi meters
Circumference = pi * 2 * radius, so with a radius of two meters, the circumference must be 12.56636... meters.
The radius is five meters if the circumference is 31.4 meters.
If the circumference of a circle is 62.8 meters the diameter is: 20 meters.
