In a Full Rotation of

360^{\circ}

, The wheel will cover a distance Equal to its Circumference i.e

2 π r

Therefore, Finding the Circumference:
Here the Radius will be Equal to the ray i.e. 5 inch

C = 2 π r = 2 π (5) C = 10 π i n c h e s

If it Covers

10 π

inches in

360^{\circ}

Rotation, Then the Distance Covered in

60^{\circ}

Rotation is:

\frac{10 π * 60}{360} = \frac{10 π}{6}

Taking the Value of

π = 3.14,

Required Distance Travelled is: 5.23 inches.
