Homework Statement

A simple question: do i calculate in radians or degrees mode on the calculator for

sin( w t) where w = omega(rad/s)
and i am given w = 50 rad/s and t = 5 s

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

Would i have to calculate sin(250) in radian mode since it turns out to be 250 radians?
