#"Period of wheel :0.26 " "sec.#

#"circumference of the bicycle wheel can be calculated using "##"formula "s=2 pi r#

#s=2*pi*35=219.9cm=2.199m#

#"We have to find out how many times the bicycle's wheel has"##"turned ."#

#30 km=30000meters.#

#"n:number of revolution"#

#n=30.000/(2.199)=13642.6#

#"How many seconds have passed since the wheel was turned "##"once? we must answer the question."#

#1h=3600 sec.#

#"T:Period"#

#T=3600/(13642.6)#

#T=0.26 sec#
