Best Answer

Bicycle wheels with a diameter of 26 inches, travelling 35 miles per hour, are turning 452 revolutions per minute.

35 miles per hour is 36,960 inches per minute (25 *5280 * 12 / 60)

26 inches diameter is 81.7 inches circumference, so the revolutions per minute is 36,960 / 81.7 or 452 revolutions per minute.

How many revolutions per minute are the wheels of a bicycle turning if the diameter is 26 inches and you are traveling at a speed of 10 miles per hour How many r?

To solve, you need how far is travelled in 1 minute and the circumference of the wheel (in the same units) which gives how far the wheel travels in one revolution; then dividing the former by the latter will give the revolutions per minute: I'll work in inches: There are 63360 inches in 1 mile and 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus: 10mph = 10 x 63360 ÷ 60 inches per minute = 10560 ipm circumference = π x diameter = 26π inches ⇒ revolutions per minute = 10560 ipm ÷ 26π ins ~= 129.3 rpm
