A bicycle wheel of radius

40\,\text{cm}

is rotating about its axle at a steady rate of

180\,\text{rev}\,\text{min}^{-1}

. (i) Calculate the angular velocity of the wheel in

\text{rad}\,\text{s}^{-1}

. (ii) Determine the linear speed of a point on the rim in

\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}

. (iii) Find the linear distance travelled by the same point in

10\,\text{s}
