Answer:
v ≈ 8.5 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the diameter of the wheel is 3 m the radius will be r = 1.5 m.
Use the radius of the water wheel to find it's circumference C:
[set r = 1.5 m]
⇒
⇒ m
One revolution of the water wheel corresponds to meters so the angular velocity 15 rmp (revolutions per minute) corresponds to:
=
/min
Using this result, the speed of the river in kilometers per hour will be:
×
×
⇒
⇒ ≈
km/h
