    The equation relating angular velocity and linear velocity is:

    w = v / r

    where,

    w = angular velocity, v = linear velocity, and r = radius

    Since r is in inches, convert v to inches:

    v = (54 miles per hour) * (63360 inches / mile)

    v = 3,421,440 inches / hour

    Solving for w:

    w = (3,421,440 inches / hour) / 13 inches

    w = 263,187.70 rad / hour
