Figure shows a wheel rotating about Q2. Two points A and B located along the radius of wheel have speeds of 80ms and 140ms respectively. The distance between the points A and B is 300 mm. The diameter of the wheel (in mm) is
Open in App
Solution
Angular velocity of point A and B will be same
Where, R = radius of the wheel ωA=ωB VAR−0.3=VBR 80R−0.3=140R 80R=140R−42 42=60R R=0.7m ∴ Diameter of the wheel, D=2R=1.4m=1400mm
