1. A paddle wheel is placed in a river to measure the speed of the water current. The wheel has a radius of 3.5 ft and is turning at 26 revolutions per minute (rpm). Pay careful attention to the units requested in each of the following problems. You may need to apply conversion factors. a) Find the angular velocity of the paddle wheel in radians per hour (leave in exact form). (4 pts) b) Find the linear velocity of the water current in feet per hour (accurate to the nearest tenth). (Hint: The velocity of the water is the same as the linear velocity of a point on the circumference of the paddle wheel.) (2 pts)
e) Find the linear velocity of the water current in miles per hour (accurate to the nearest tenth). (Note: Use 1 mile = $280 feet as a conversion factor.) (2 pts)
