Hello,
 
I was wondering if anyone could point me to some links that explain
about engine, RPM of an engine, torque, etc.
 
I know the values for gear ratios, differential ratio, engine torque
curve, for a given car.
I also know the radius of the wheels.
 
What I am more interested is:
 
    1. How do I calculate RPM of an engine, given, I know how fast it's
drive (torqued) wheels are turning?
    2. How do I calculate, the maximum speed (how fast the wheels turn),
given, I know the engine RPM, engine torque, gear ratio, etc.
    3. How do I calculate the maximum linear speed for a vehicle for a
given gear?
