in uniform circular motion, the speed v of point on the edge of a spinning disk is v=2π/T times r. where r is the radius of the disk and T is the time it takes the point to travel once around the circle. Solve the formula for r.

First lets write down starting formula:


V = (2 \pi )/(T) * r

We multiply both sides of = sign by T

T*V = 2*
\pi*r

Now we divide both sides with 2*
\pi


(T*V)/(2* \pi ) =r

which is now solved for r
