Answer:
π/10 in/s ≈ 0.314 in/s
Explanation:
The circumference of the circle it traverses is given by the formula ...
C = 2πr
Substituting the given radius, we find the distance traveled in 60 seconds to be ...
C = 2π(3 in) = 6π in
Then the linear speed is ...
speed = distance/time = (6π in)/(60 s) = π/10 in/s
