    angular speed = 10,266.424 radians per minute

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Angular speed w = Velocity (v) / radius (r)

    w = 221760/0.6 = 369,600/5280 feet per hour = 70 miles per hour

    Circumference of the wheel = 2πr

    2π (0.6) = 3.77 feet

    Converting feet to miles

    3.77/5280 = 7.3 e-⁴ miles

    No of revolutions = 369600 / 3.77 = 98,037. 14 revolutions per hour

    Converting it to mins = 98,037.14/60 = 1634 rev per minute

    2π rad = 1 rev

    1634*2π = 10,266.424 radians per minute
