Trig problem…?

A windmill for generating electricity has a blade that is 30 feet long. Depending on the wind, it rotates at various velocities. Find the angular velocity in rad/sec for the tip of the blade if the windmill is rotating at a rate of 85 rev/sec.

85 rev/sec.

= 85*2pi rad/sec.

= 170pi rad/sec.

That seems very fast for a windmill.
