Question 1154319: A truck with 42-in.-diameter wheels is traveling at 55 mi/h.
Find the angular speed of the wheels in rad/min, *hint convert miles to inches & hours to minutes:
How many revolutions per minute do the wheels make? (rpm)

[ mi/hr ] x [ ft/mi ] x [ in/ft ] = [ in/hr]
[ in/hr ] x [ hr/min ] = [ in/min ]
------------------------------------------
in/hr
in/min
--------------------------------------------------
In 1 revolution the wheel lays down 1 circumference
in
--------------------------------
[ in/min ] / [ in/rev ] = [ rev/min ]
rev/min ( the rpms )
--------------------------------------------------
[ rev/min ] x [ rad/rev ] = [ rad/min ]
rad/min ( the angular speed )
---------------------------
