Answer 2

Since the wheel makes 75 rev/min, the outside (circumference) of the wheel travels along the ground 75 times in one minute. Thus you need to know the circumference or the distance around the outside of the wheel. 

You know that the circumference of a circle is equal to 2 times pi times the radius, or 

C = 2 π r or 

C = 2 * π * (2.1) 

Using 3.14 for π, 

C = 2 (3.14)(2.1) or C = 13.2 meters (depending on how you are to round your answers...) 

Since the wheel goes around 75 times per minute, the wheel will travel approximately 990 meters per minute. 

In an hour (60 minutes) the train will travel 990(60) meters, or about 59400 meters. 

Converting this to km, the train will travel approximately 59.4 km/hr
