SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the speed of a self-balancing skateboard with a wheel radius of 7 cm, rotating at 2600 RPM under a load of 90 kg. To determine the speed in km/hr, the circumference of the wheel is calculated using the formula 2πr, and then this value is multiplied by the RPM to find the distance traveled in cm/min. This distance is subsequently converted to km/hr, providing a clear method for speed calculation under specified conditions.
