Need to convert mph to rpm. How to do it? See below please.
Explanation:
assume statute mile of 5,280 ft or 1760 yards
Now how many ft in 0.58333 miles?
1 mile is 5 280 ft thus
0.58333mile * 5 280 ft/mile = 3 080ft
Circumference of wheel is C=
C = 26*
C
Now how many times does the wheel rotate in one minute?
