Problem

2. A bicycle wheel of radius 35 cm35\,\text{cm} makes 450 complete revolutions while the cyclist is in motion. (a) Find the linear distance covered by a point on the rim of the wheel during these 450 revolutions. (b) If the cyclist maintains a constant speed of 15 km h−115\,\text{km}\,\text{h}^{-1}, calculate the time taken to complete the 450 revolutions. (Express the final answer in seconds.)
