**Solve the problem.**

Find \( \omega \) for the minute hand of a clock.

---

**Explanation:**

- \( \omega \) represents the angular velocity.
- The minute hand of a clock completes one full revolution (360 degrees or \(2\pi\) radians) in 60 minutes.
- To find \( \omega \), calculate the angular velocity in radians per minute.

The formula for angular velocity is: 
\[ \omega = \frac{\text{angle in radians}}{\text{time in minutes}} \]

For the minute hand:
\[
\omega = \frac{2\pi \text{ radians}}{60 \text{ minutes}} = \frac{\pi}{30} \text{ radians per minute}
\]

Thus, the angular velocity \( \omega \) of the minute hand is \( \frac{\pi}{30} \) radians per minute.
