1. Can you determine the RPM thats required for a DC electric transaxle motor, such that the mower can maintain the required top speed listed in the table. The radius of the rear wheel is listed in this table as well.

Explanation / Answer

here ,

the radius of the rear wheel , r = 20 cm

r = 0.2 m

the top speed of the motor ,v = 3 m/s

the angular speed , w = v/r

w = 15 rad/s

w = 143.31 rpm

the RPM required for a DC electric motor is 143.31 rpm
