Answer:

1047.193radians/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

10,000revs/min = 166.6666revs/s

1 revolution = 360 degrees =
2\pi radians

so 10,000 revolutions=
2*\pi *166.666 = 1047.193radians.

so maximum angular speed is.

1047.193radians/second.

Answer:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

A Blu-ray disc is approximately 8 centimeters in diameter. The drive motor of the Blu-ray player is able to rotate up to 10,000 revolutions per minute, depending on what track is being read. (a) Find the maximum angular speed (in radians per second) of a Blu-ray disc as it rotates. (b) Find the maximum linear speed (in meters per second) of a point on the outermost track as the disc rotates.

Answer:

(a) 1047.2 rad/sec

(b) 41.9 m/s
