Answer

$v=1.2\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required tangential speed as follows: $\omega=\frac{1rev}{12h}$ $\omega=(\frac{1rev}{12h})(\frac{2\pi rad}{rev})(\frac{1h}{3600s})$ $\implies \omega=\frac{\pi}{21600}\frac{rad}{s}$ Now $v=r\omega$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v=(8.2cm)(\frac{\pi}{21600}rad/s)$ This simplifies to: $v=1.2\times 10^{-5}m/s$
