In 8.4 s a fisherman winds 2.6 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 3.0 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation). The line is being reeled in at a constant speed. Determine the angular speed of the reel.
don't know where to start?

If a disc spins, then the linear speed v of a pt on the circumference is given by v=r*w, where w(omega) is the angular speed of the disc.
