If "A circular gear turns 60 degrees per hour" and it turns 24 hours, then it will turn a total of 60*24 = 1440 degrees.

Notice that 1440/360 = 4. So this means it will complete 4 full revolutions in 24 hours.

We know that one full revolution in radians is radians. So 4 full revolutions is radians.

**
By dimensional analysis:
60 deg/hr*2π rad/360 deg*24 hr=(60*2π*24)/360 =8π radians
ans:
radians circular gear turns in a 24-hour day=8π radians
