Greetings,

About a week ago I listed a question here concerning the RPS of the front
wheel of a V-700 at 60 MPH.
Two folks responded and said that the RPS would be 13.17........13.17
revolutions per second at 60 miles per hour.

Yep........correct.....and when I did this calculation I arrived at 13.17
revolutions per second......but I then looked at my watch and when I
noticed how quickly the second hand moved from one second to another
second, I asked myself...could this be correct?? I then decided to ask
people on the list, for verification.

Yep, it's correct and thanks for the responses......
