A truck with 48-in.-diameter wheels is traveling at 50 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?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 mile = 5280 feet = 5280*12 inches = 63360 inches.


The wheel circumference is  inches = 3.14159265*48 inches = 150.7964472 inches.


The number of revolutions of the wheel per minute is  rpm =  = 350.1408752.

Solved.

The formulas are self-explanatory.
