1. **State the problem:** A wheel with diameter 60 cm is rolled 5 times along a straight path. We need to find the distance travelled by the wheel and the degrees the pin rotates after 5 rolls.
2. **Formula for distance travelled:** The distance travelled by one full rotation of the wheel equals the circumference of the wheel.
The circumference $C$ of a circle is given by:
$$C = \pi \times d$$
where $d$ is the diameter.
3. **Calculate the circumference:**
$$C = \pi \times 60 = 60\pi \text{ cm}$$
4. **Distance travelled after 5 rolls:**
$$\text{Distance} = 5 \times 60\pi = 300\pi \text{ cm}$$
5. **Calculate degrees rotated by the pin:**
Each full rotation corresponds to $360^\circ$.
After 5 rolls, the pin rotates:
$$5 \times 360^\circ = 1800^\circ$$
**Final answers:**
- Distance travelled: $300\pi$ cm (approximately 942.48 cm)
- Degrees rotated by the pin: $1800^\circ$
