A bicycle odometer is attached near the wheel axle and it records revolutions to calculate the total distance traveled. Meghan Chia's odometer is calibrated for 27-inch wheels, but her bike has 24-inch wheels. If the odometer tells her she rode 10 miles, how far did she really ride? [In real life, Meghan would never purchase the wrong odometer for her bike.]

Torque

Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force in physics and mechanics. Based on the course of study, it is also known as the moment of force, rotational force, or turning effect.

Question

Answer question on the picture. Thanks

1. A bicycle odometer is attached near the wheel axle and it records revolutions to calculate the total distance
traveled. Meghan Chia's odometer is calibrated for 27-inch wheels, but her bike has 24-inch wheels. If
the odometer tells her she rode 10 miles, how far did she really ride? [In real life, Meghan would never

Semi-trailer trucks have an odometer on one hub of a trailer wheel. The hub is weighted so that it does not rotate, but it contains gears to count the number of wheel revolutions—it then calculates the distance traveled. If the wheel has a 1.04 m diameter and goes through 250,000 rotations, how many kilometers should the odometer read? (Enter a number.) Answer in KM
