Answer

The angular speed of the propeller is 523.6 rad/s

Work Step by Step

The propeller rotates through an angle of $2\pi$ radians 5000 times each minute. We can find the angular speed of the propeller: $\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}$ $\omega = \frac{(2\pi~rad)(5000)}{60~s}$ $\omega = 523.6~rad/s$ The angular speed of the propeller is 523.6 rad/s
