Given :
A gerbil wheel has a radius of 3.2 inches. The gerbil can spin the wheel at a rate of 35 rotations per minute.
To Find :
The angular speed of the wheel in degrees per minute and the linear speed of wheel in inches per minute.
Solution :
Angular speed is given by :
Now, velocity is given by :
Hence, this is the required solution.
