In summary, to calculate tire revolutions for a distance of 101000 km, you need to convert the distance to meters and divide it by the circumference of the tire in meters. The formula for calculating tire revolutions is distance (in meters) / circumference of tire (in meters). This calculation can be used for any type of tire as long as the distance is given in kilometers and the circumference of the tire is measured in meters. The accuracy of the calculation depends on the accuracy of measuring the tire size and distance, but other factors such as tire wear and road conditions can affect the actual number of revolutions. An easier way to calculate tire revolutions is by using the RPM feature in newer cars and multiplying it by the number of minutes traveled.

The warranty on a new tire says that an automobile can travel for a distance of 101000 km before the tire wears out. The radius of the tire is 0.33 m. How many revolutions does the tire make before wearing out ?

d=101000000m
Maybe I should try using C=2pi*r? and then multiply by the distance?

Not quite write. Try something more like C*n =d.

Multiply? Think again.

divide :) thanks
 

Related to Calculating Tire Revolutions for 101000 km Distance

1. How do you calculate tire revolutions for a distance of 101000 km?

To calculate tire revolutions, you need to know the tire size and the distance traveled. First, convert the distance from kilometers to meters by multiplying by 1000. Then, divide the distance by the circumference of the tire in meters. This will give you the number of revolutions needed to travel the distance.

2. What is the formula for calculating tire revolutions?

The formula for calculating tire revolutions is distance (in meters) / circumference of tire (in meters).

3. Can the tire revolutions calculation be used for any type of tire?

Yes, the tire revolutions calculation can be used for any type of tire as long as the distance is given in kilometers and the circumference of the tire is measured in meters.

4. How accurate is the tire revolutions calculation?

The tire revolutions calculation is fairly accurate as long as the tire size and distance traveled are measured accurately. However, factors such as tire wear and road conditions can affect the actual number of revolutions.

5. Is there a simpler way to calculate tire revolutions?

Yes, some newer cars have a feature that displays the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) of the tires. By multiplying the RPM by the number of minutes traveled, you can get a rough estimate of the number of revolutions for a certain distance.
