Best answer

Number of revolutions made by the wheel in 1 minute = 360

∴Number of revolutions made by the wheel in 1 second = 360/60 = 6

In one complete revolution, the wheel turns an angle of 2π radian.

Hence, in 6 complete revolutions, it will turn an angle of 6 × 2π radian, i.e.,

12 π radian

Thus, in one second, the wheel turns an angle of 12π radian.
