Mason Lawson · Answer 1

52 rad/s

Explanation:

The rate at which the grindstone is spinning is 8.3 revolutions per second

This means that every second the grindstone completes 8.3 revolutions

A radian is basically the arc length of a circle.

Converting it to radians per second

8.3*2π = 16.6π = 52.15 radians per second

∴ Approximate angular speed is 52 radians per second
