### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of a Bicycle Wheel**: - A bicycle wheel consists of a rim (outer part), spokes (connecting rods), and a hub (the center part where the axle is located). - The wheel rotates around an axis that passes through the center (hub). 2. **Role of Spokes**: - Spokes connect the rim of the wheel to the hub. Without spokes, the rim would not be effectively connected to the rotating axis. ...
