Pi is the ratio between the circumference of the circle and the diameter of the circle. So essentially the distance around a circle is about 3.14 times greater than the greatest distance across that particular circle. I actually found it in third grade when I was trying to determine how fast a go-kart I was scheming to build would possibly go from the maximum RPM of the engine, the gear ratio of the gearbox I planned to use, and the diameter of the wheels connected to the axle. I measured the circumference of the back wheels physically with a piece of string and realized that no matter how big the wheel, the ratio would always be the same. Then I took all of that into consideration, calculated the hypothetical speed in feet per second because it was most convenient, then converted that measurement into miles per hour. I wanted the kart to have a maximum speed of about 25 miles per hour, so I adjusted the measurements accordingly until I found an ideal setup. I never actually finished building the kart partly out of laziness and ( ... )
