To find the angular speed of the saw blade in degrees per minute, we follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert revolutions per minute to degrees per minute

Since 1 revolution equals 360 degrees, we multiply the number of revolutions per minute (3,200) by 360 to get the angular speed in degrees per minute.

$\text{Angular speed} = 3,200 \, \text{revolutions per minute} \times 360 \, \text{degrees per revolution}$

$\text{Angular speed} = 1,152,000 \, \text{degrees per minute}$

So, the angular speed of the blade is 1,152,000 degrees per minute.

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this topic:

1. What is the angular speed in radians per minute?
2. How do you convert between angular speed in degrees and radians?
3. What is the relationship between angular speed and linear speed at the blade's edge?
4. If the blade spins faster, say 4,000 revolutions per minute, what is the new angular speed?
5. How would the blade's angular speed change if the diameter doubled?

Tip: Angular speed is often easier to calculate in radians, as 1 revolution is $2\pi$ radians.
