Problem

A car is fitted with wheels of diameter 60 cm60\,\text{cm}. When the car accelerates, the wheel speed increases from 720 rpm720\,\text{rpm} to 1080 rpm1080\,\text{rpm}. What is the approximate increase in the car’s linear speed in km h−1\text{km\,h}^{-1}? (a) 27 km h−127\,\text{km\,h}^{-1} (b) 81 km h−181\,\text{km\,h}^{-1} (c) 41 km h−141\,\text{km\,h}^{-1} (d) 20 km h−120\,\text{km\,h}^{-1}
