Butch Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 A bicycle with 26" wheels and axles 34" apart, traveling in a straight line runs through a spot of wet paint... how far apart will the subsequent spots made by the front and back tires be?

MigL Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Why not make it a little tougher and use different sized wheels ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldChemE Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 depends on the tires, which you did not specify. The actual diameter of the tire on a 26" bike depends on the profile of the tire-- which can vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Alright then, here is the answer regardless of the distance between the tires, if they are the same size, they will leave subsequent marks at the same distance from the original paint spot... The answer is 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
