Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The question is not complete.

Let us assume that the black square rotates in a circular part of radius 1 inch.

Therefore, in one full rotation the distance covered (θ) is the same as the perimeter of the circular part. Therefore:

θ = 2πr = 2π(1) = 6.28 inch

The time taken to complete one full rotation (t) is:

t = θ / v

t = 6.28 / 2

t = 3.14 seconds
