    Welcome to PF!

    Hi -=Mad=-! Welcome to PF! :smile:
    Noooo … that's the formula for the distance in feet that a cylinder of diameter D inches rolls after n turns. :wink:

    Does that help? o:)​

    Whether that is a formula for friction or the distance a cylinder rolls (assuming that 22/7 is an approximation for [itex]\pi[/itex]) or the curvature of a hypersurface depends entirely upon the application- which you did not tell us!
