Nikhil · Answer 1

So the equation for angular velocity is

Omega = 2 (3.14) / T

Where T is the total period in which the cylinder completes one revolution.

In order to find T, the tangential velocity is

V = 2 (3.14) r/T

When calculated, I got V = 3.14

When you enter that into the angular velocity equation, you should get 2m/s
