track circumference = 2 * pi * r
segment driven = track circumference / 8
tire revolutions made so far = 7 * 3500

segment driven = pi / 2 miles
tire revolution made so far = 24500

circumference of tire = segment driven / tire revolution made so far
circumference of tire = pi / 49000 miles

radius of tire = circumference of tire / (2 * pi)
radius of tire = 1 / 98000 miles
radius of tire = 0.64653 inches

That is one VERY small tire.

Let's see:

If the wheel makes 3,500 revolutions per minute for 7 minutes, that means the circumference of the wheel goes around 24,500 times in seven minutes. Circumference = 2 x pi x r, so the total distance traveled by the wheel can be represented by 49,000 x pi x r.

On the other side of the equation, if the radius of the track is two miles, or 10,560 feet, and the wheel went 1/8 of the way around the circumference of the track, the distance traveled can be represented by 1/8 x 2 x pi x 10,560, or 2,640 x pi.

So let's simplify:

49,000 x pi x r = 2,640 x pi, so divide each side by pi

49,000 x r = 2,640, now you divide each side by 49,000

r = 2,640/49,000 = 0.05387 feet

Here are your steps:

1) find the length of the track, it's the circumference = 2*pi*radius.

2) divide by 8, that's 1/8 of the track, the distance you covered.

3) Distance = speed * time, so divide the distance by 7 minutes to get your speed in miles per minute.

4) Multiply by 5280 to convert the speed to feet per minute.

5) x feet/min = 3500 revs/min ---> x feet = 3500 revs ---> divide the result by 3500 to get the number of feet that are in one revilution.

6) You now have the circumference of the tires. C=2*pi*r, so divide by 2*pi to get the radius in feet. Multiply by 12 to convert to inches.

This one is ALL about units conversion!

First, some of the easy things: you travel the WHOLE track in 56 minutes.
At 3500 rpm, your tires have turned 56*3500 times. That is, the circumfrence of your tire is the length of the track divided by (56*3500).

The WHOLE track is 2*2*pi miles in length, in miles, but you probably want to make this in inches, since this is often what tire radii are measure in. The track length is then:

4.*pi*5280*12.

Therefore the circumfrence of your tire is
4*pi*12.*5280/(56*3500).
The RADIUS is the circumfrence divided by 2*pi, so the radius is

4*pi*12*5280/(5600*3500*2*pi)
which simplifies to
2*12*5280/(5600*3500)

1/8 of the track has a length of pi/4*radius, or 1.5707 miles.

The wheels turn 7*3500 revolutions over this distance.

The circumfrence of the tire must be 1.5707 miles / (7*3500) = .00006411 miles or 0.3385 feet or 4.06227 inches.

The radius of the tire would be the circumfrence divided by 2xpi, or 0.646 inches. That's a tiny tire! Did you give us the correct numbers?

circumference of the circular track = 2*pi*r
distance covered = 1/8*2*pi*r = pi/2miles = 1.5714miles

24500 revolutions by the tire in 7 minutes cover 1.5714 miles

1revolution covers 1.5714/24500 = 10.32cm

2*pi*r = 10.32cm

r = 1.64cm

that isn't any longer the inoperable water pump that would reason harm. it would want to be risked harm if, for the time of that very short pressure, the engine overheated. that would want to were barely sufficient operating to get it to operating temperature. the thanks to inform if the engine is broken is to note if the overheated project got here about and through searching at any undesirable habit in a while. you may want to also deplete a large style of money tearing the engine all the way down to degree parts. If there's no problem, do not bypass searching for one.

radius of the track=2*5280 feet
=10560 feet
circumference=2*3.14
1/8th ofthis=2*3.14*10560/8
=2*3.14*1320 feet
speed per minute=2*3.14*1320/7ft/min
distance travelled in 3500 rev=2*3.14*1320/7 feet
if the radius is r"
2*3.14*r*3500=2*3.14*1320/7feet
=2*3.14*1320*12/7 inches
r=2*3.14*1320*12/7*3500*2*3.14
=0.647"
