Homework Statement



The once-popular LP (long-play) records were 12 inches in diameter and turned at a constant 33(1/3) rpm.
Find the angular speed of the LP in rad/s and its period in seconds.


Homework Equations



1 rpm=((2∏)/60)

The Attempt at a Solution



for ω i got 3.49

I need help with finding its period in seconds, T.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
[itex]ω=2π/T[/itex]

One of the basic equations of circular motion, well worth knowing!
 
thank you. could you please let me know if my omega is correct. I just want to make sure. for T i got 1.80
 
Unless we both made some horrible mistake!
 
yayy! thanks! on to the next...
