If 10.8 meters per second is a tangential velocity at radius r meters, then the angular velocity is 10.8 / r radians per seconds.

Explanation:

10.8 meters per second is a linear velocity.

Radians per second is an angular velocity.

If you have a point following a circular course of radius r at constant linear velocity 10.8 meters per second, then its angular velocity is 10.8 / r radians.
