Answer:


\theta=57.14rad

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Angular Velocity
\omega=20rad/s

Acceleration
a=3.5rads/s^2

Generally the equation for Angular velocity is mathematically given by


\omega_2^2=\omega_1^2+2 a \theta

Therefore


20^2=0+2*2.5*\theta


\theta=(400)/(2*3.5)


\theta=57.14rad
