How do you get diameter of a wheel?

Measure the perimeter of the wheel using a tape measure. Then use the formula to find out the diameter D = perimeter/3.14 ========================================== You could certainly do it that way. But it would be much more direct to just measure all the way across the wheel, between the two points on the edge of the wheel that are furthest apart. That would be the diameter.


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 far does a golf ball roll in one rotation?

Let's assume that your golf ball is 1.680 inches in diameter - the smallest size golf ball allowed in certain golfing associations. Then we know that the circumference of the golf ball will be the distance it would roll in one complete rotation. Circumference = pi * diameter Circumference = 3.14 * 1.680 in Circumference = 5.2752 inches = the distance that this particular golf ball would roll


What size box is needed to hold four 5 inch in diameter wheels?

It depends on the width of the wheel...but obviously if the diameter is 5 inchs then the wheel is 5 inches all the way around. So depending on how you stack the wheels the box would have to be at least 5inches X 5inches in one direction or the other


If the circumference of the rim of the wheel is 42 inches how long is each spoke?

We've already had this question. If this is about a real bike it can't be answered, as the spokes never go to the precise center of the wheel. If this is about maths, then basic geometry states that circumference = diameter times pi. A spoke would be the radius, which is half of the diameter. Pi is usually held at 3.14, but the numbers just keeps coming. Circumference / Pi = diameter Diameter / 2 = radius Now do the rest of the homework yourself.

How are a lever and a wheel and axle similar?

To find the Mechanical Advantage you would have to divide.The equation for Lever is: MA = Length of effort arm--------------------------------Length of resistance armThe equation for Wheel and axle is: MA = Diameter of wheel-------------------------Diameter of axleORMA = Diameter of axle-----------------------Diameter of wheel* Depending on where the force is applied.A wheel is just like a bunch of levers arranged in a circle with the fulcrum at the center of the wheel. The axle is like the short end of the lever.One degree of rotation of the axle results in one degree of rotation of the wheel; this is just like rotating the short end of the lever to movethe long end.


How would reversing the wheel's initial direction of rotation affect the result?

Reversing the wheel's initial direction of rotation would cause the wheel to move in the opposite direction. This would result in a change in the overall movement and direction of the wheel.

A team in science class placed a chalk mark on the side of a wheel and rolled the wheel in a straight line until the chalk returned to the same position the team then measured the distance the wheel?

They measured the distance the wheel traveled on the ground which would be the same as the circumference of the wheel. If they then measured the diameter of the wheel and divided the circumference by the diameter they would have a value for pi.


Why is the steering wheel on a school bus so large?

Since mechanical advantage would be helpful for this situation, the diameter of the steering wheel is larger than the typical steering wheel. Increasing the diameter of the steering wheel allows for a large mechanical advantage.


What is the radius of a wheel with a diameter of 27.6cm?

Oh, dude, the radius of a wheel is just half of the diameter, so you take 27.6cm and divide by 2 to get 13.8cm. Like, that's the distance from the center to the outer edge. But hey, who's measuring anyway, right?


If the diameter of a wheel is one yard then its radius is how many inches?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! If the diameter of the wheel is one yard, which is 36 inches, then the radius would be half of that. So, the radius of the wheel would be 18 inches. Just remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents!


Why would someone need to calculate the circumference of the circle?

To know how fay you travel in one rotation of the wheel.


What would be the probable effect on the earth's equatorial diameter the speed of rotation increased?

If the speed of rotation of the Earth were to increase, the centrifugal force acting on the equator would also increase. This would cause the Earth to bulge slightly at the equator, leading to a small increase in the equatorial diameter.


What 4 lug car wheel will work on a light trailer?

You would have to measure the bolt circle diameter, stud diameter, center hub diameter and back spacing on the trailer then match the new rims to those specs.

What is turning circle in car?

That would be the inside diameter of the circle created by turning the steering wheel completely left or right.
