A revolving mountain top restaurant turns slowly, completing a full rotation in 50 minutes. A man is sitting in the restaurant 15 m from the axis of rotation. What is the speed of the man relative to a stationary point outside the restaurant?
Can someone please explain how to do this question?

It would probably help to sketch it, but what is the angular speed of the restaurant and therefore what would be the linear speed of the man?
