The given formula is

s = rwt

From the information given,

s = pi/5 * m = mpi/5

r = 5m

t = 5

By substituting these values into the formula, we have

mpi/5 = 5m * w x 4

mpi/5 = 20mw

m cancels out on both sides of the equation. It becomes

pi/5 = 20w

Recall, pi is a constant whose value is 3.14

Thus,

3.14/5 = 20w

0.628 = 20w

Dividing both sides of the equation by 20, we have

20w/20 = 0.628/20

w = 0.0314
