Knowns & Concept

When two solid rotating bodies are connected by an axle, then their angular velocities must be the same.

  • Hence, the angular velocity of the grindstone must be

ω=0.3rads\boxed{\omega=0.3\, \dfrac{\text{rad}}{\text{s}}}

independently of it's radius. This is angular velocity for all points on the grindstone.
