Velocity of the automobile #v=80"km/h"=(80xx10^3m)/(60xx60s)=200/9"m/s"#

Radius of Tyre #r=80cm =0.8m#

Initial angular velocity of wheels

#omega_0=v/r=200/(0.8xx9)"rad/s"=250/9"rad/s"#

On application of brakes the car stops in 30 complete turns. So the angular displacement of wheels #theta =30xx2pi=60pi# radian.
Final angular velocity of wheel #omega =0#

If angular acceleration be #alpha# then we can write from equation of rotational motion

#omega^2=omega_0^2+2alphaxxtheta#

Inserting values we get

#0^2=(250/9)^2+2xxalphaxx60pi#

#=>alpha=-(250xx250)/(9xx9xx120pi)~~-2"rad/"s^2#
