does anyone know how to convert 33 revolutions/minute to velocity (meter/sec) when the radius is 1.47 meters?
1 rev is 2piRadius meters.
1. What distance has a given point on the rim travelled when it has made one revolution?
2. How many seconds are there in a minute?
If you have a radius of 1.47 m the circumference is π2.94.
So
\frac{22 rev}{minute} \times \frac{minute}{60 seconds} \times \frac{2.94 \pi m}{rev}
should get you your answer. (Approximately 3)
