Droo rotational speed is 158m/s at the equater
Droo's radius is 1274200
Droo's circumsrance would be 2×pi×r so it is 8006034.718
I take the circumsrance ÷ 360 to find out how long 1 degree on Droo would be and got 22238.98533 m.
I than took 158/22238.98533 to find the angular velocity which I got 0.0071 degrees/second

Am I correct?

    Due to how degrees, arc minutes, and arc seconds work, 25.56 degrees per hour. So 25.56 arc seconds per second. Both of which are are roughly the droo 14 hour day. The true value is actually 25.71

    yes, you are correct
    360/14=25.714285714 deg/h
    8006034.718408/360*25.714285714=571859.6227371 meter/h
    so the angular velocity is:
    25.714285714/3600=0.0071428571428 deg/s
    517859.6227371/3600=158.8498952 meter/s
