Answer

$t=\frac{15}{32} \text{sec}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: $\omega=\dfrac{\theta}{t}$ Substitute the given values into the given formula above to obtain: $\omega=\dfrac{\theta}{t} \\\frac{8\pi}{9} \text{ radians per sec}= \dfrac{\frac{5\pi}{12}\text{ radians}}{t}$ Cross-multiply to obtain: \begin{array}{ccc} &t \cdot (\frac{8\pi}{9}\text{ radians per sec})&=&\frac{5\pi}{12} \text{radians} \\&\dfrac{t \cdot (\frac{8\pi}{9}\text{ radians per sec})}{\frac{8\pi}{9}\text{ radians per sec}}&=&\dfrac{\frac{5\pi}{12} \text{radians}}{\frac{8\pi}{9}\text{ radians per sec}} \\&t &= &\frac{15}{32} \text{sec}\end{array}
