A wheel makes \(360\) revolutions per minute. Through how many radians does it turn in \(1\) second?

Solution:

Number of revolutions per minute:

\[ 360 \]

Number of revolutions per second:

\[ \frac{360}{60}=6 \]

One complete revolution equals:

\[ 2\pi \text{ radians} \]

Therefore, angle turned in \(1\) second:

\[ 6\times2\pi \]

\[ 12\pi \text{ radians} \]

Hence, the wheel turns through:

\[ \boxed{12\pi \text{ radians}} \]
