    First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.

    C = 2πr

    Substituting the known values,

    C = 2 (π) (3,397 km) = 6794π km

    To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

    tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h
