SUMMARY
The angular velocity of an airplane propeller rotating at 1900 revolutions per minute (rev/min) is calculated using the conversion factor of 1 rev/min equaling 2π/60 radians per second. The correct calculation yields an angular velocity of 3800π/60 rad/s, which simplifies to approximately 199.1 rad/s. It is essential to compute the actual numerical value for practical applications.
