Angular velocity : a trucker drives 55 miles per hour. His truck's tires have a diameter of 26 inches. What is the angular velocity of the wheels in revolutions per second.
***
1 revolution(rev)=circumference of truck's tires=π*diameter=π*26 inches

cancel out:mi,hr,ft,inches
Angular+velocity=%2855%29%2A%285280%29%2A%2812%29%2F%283600%2A26pi%29=11.85+%28rev%2Fsec%29
