1. **State the problem:**
We are given a larger wheel with radius $R=88$ cm rotating at 210 revolutions per minute (rpm). We need to find its angular speed in radians per second.
2. **Formula and explanation:**
Angular speed in radians per second is related to revolutions per minute by the formula:
$$\omega = \text{rpm} \times \frac{2\pi \text{ radians}}{1 \text{ revolution}} \times \frac{1 \text{ minute}}{60 \text{ seconds}}$$
This converts revolutions per minute to radians per second.
3. **Calculate angular speed:**
$$\omega = 210 \times \frac{2\pi}{60} = 210 \times \frac{\cancel{2}\pi}{\cancel{60}} \times \frac{1}{1}$$
Simplify the fraction:
$$\frac{2}{60} = \frac{1}{30}$$
So,
$$\omega = 210 \times \frac{\pi}{30}$$
Cancel common factors:
$$210 = 7 \times 30$$
Therefore,
$$\omega = \cancel{7 \times 30} \times \frac{\pi}{\cancel{30}} = 7\pi$$
4. **Final answer:**
The angular speed of the larger wheel is
$$\boxed{7\pi \text{ radians per second}}$$
This is an exact answer in terms of $\pi$ as requested.
