    Average angular velocity ≈ 4.59 rad/s

    Explanation:

    Using the equation of motion,

    H = ut + (1/2) t² ... equation 1.

    Where H = height, u = initial velocity (m/s), g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²), t = time (s) u = 0 ∴ ut = 0

    H = (1/2) gt² ... equation 2.

    making t² the subject of the relation in equation 2,

    ∴ t² = 2H/g

    Where H = 9.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s

    ∴ t² = (2*9.2) / 9.8

    t = √ (2 * 9.2/9.8) = √ (18.4/9.8)

    t = 1.37 s.

    The average angular velocity = θ/t

    Where θ = is the number of revolution that the diver makes, t = time

    θ = 1 rev.

    Since 1 rev = 2π (rad)

    t = 1.37 s

    Average angular velocity = 2π/t

    π = 3.143

    Average angular velocity = (2*3.143) / 1.37 = 6.286/1.37

    Average angular velocity ≈ 4.59 rad/s
