To find the cyclist's speed, we need to determine the distance he covers in 5 minutes.

The distance covered in one round of a circular track is equal to the circumference of the circle. The formula for the circumference of a circle is:

C = πd

where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.

Given that the diameter of the circular track is 105 meters, we can calculate the circumference:

C = π * 105 = 330π meters

Since the cyclist completes one round in 5 minutes, his speed can be calculated by dividing the distance covered by the time taken:

Speed = Distance / Time

In this case, the distance covered is the circumference of the circle (330π meters), and the time taken is 5 minutes.

Speed = (330π meters) / (5 minutes)

To get the speed in meters per minute, we divide the numerator and denominator by 5:

Speed = (330π / 5) meters/minute

To approximate the value of π, we can use 3.14:

Speed = (330 * 3.14 / 5) meters/minute

Simplifying this expression:

Speed ≈ 207.9 meters/minute

Therefore, the cyclist's speed is approximately 207.9 meters per minute.
