1. Convert Revolutions to Radians:
* One revolution is equal to 2π radians.
2. Convert Minutes to Seconds:
* There are 60 seconds in one minute.
Calculation:
* Start with the RPM: 18 rpm
* Multiply by 2π to convert revolutions to radians: 18 rpm * 2π radians/revolution = 36π radians/minute
* Divide by 60 to convert minutes to seconds: (36π radians/minute) / (60 seconds/minute) = 0.6π radians/second
Therefore, the angular speed of the wheel is 0.6π radians per second.
