Solution

To find the angular velocity of a point on the rim of a wheel, we can use the formula:

Angular velocity = Linear velocity / Radius

Given that the linear velocity is 100 feet per second and the diameter of the wheel is 8 feet, we need to find the radius of the wheel.

The radius of the wheel is half of the diameter, so the radius is 8 feet / 2 = 4 feet.

Now we can calculate the angular velocity:

Angular velocity = 100 feet per second / 4 feet

Angular velocity = 25 rad/sec

Therefore, the angular velocity of the point on the rim of the wheel is 25 rad/sec.
