A train is moving at the rate of 8 mi/h along a piece of circular track of radius 2500 ft. Through what angle does it turn in 1 min?
------
The circumference is 5000pi feet.
---
8 mi/hr = 8*(60*22/15) = 704 ft/minute (You can verify that if you care to)
Angle = 704/(5000pi) radians
= 704*180/5000 = 25.344 degrees
