  1. Figure shows a wheel rotating about Q2. Two points A and B located along the radius of wheel have speeds of 80 m/s and 140 m/s respectively. The distance between the points A and B is 300 mm. The diameter of the wheel (in mm) is ______.
    1. 1400
    2. 1500
    3. 1600
    4. 1700
Correct Option: A


VA = 80 m/s, VB = 140 m/s
rB – rA = 300 ...(i)
ω × rA = 80
ω × rB = 140

rB
= 1.75 ...................(ii)
rA

Solving (i) and (ii), rB = 700 mm.
∴ Diameter of wheel is 1400 mm.
