Ok, you have a wheel with radius of 21in and it´s 335mm wide. How many rpm should the wheel make to reach 400kph?
I had the formula but I cant find it... hope u can help
centrafugal accel, a=(V^2)/(2*r)???Ciro Pabón wrote:
Just for fun, at that speed, the edge of the tire moves at 6.66 Km/60 seconds = 111 meters per second.
The radius is 0.53 meters, as we said before. The centrifugal acceleration is the speed squared divided by the twice the radius. That is (111 m/s)^2 / (2*0.53 m) = 11623 m/s2. This is like 1180 G's!
Am I wrong in that last one? Over 1000 G's? Anyway, you better use high speed tyres on your first attempt...
