Answer

$\omega = (10~\pi)~rad/s$ which is $31.4~rad/s$

Work Step by Step

The line rotates through an angle of $2\pi$ radians 300 times in a time of 60 seconds. We can find the angular speed: $\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}$ $\omega = \frac{(2\pi~rad)(300)}{60~s}$ $\omega = 10~\pi~rad/s$ $\omega = 31.4~rad/s$
