Given:

A Ferris wheel makes 1 revolution per minute, n = 1 rpm

so, the angular speed :

\omega=\frac{2\pi\cdot n}{60}=\frac{2\pi\cdot1}{60}=\frac{\pi}{30}

The linear speed of the seats on the rim of the wheel is 2.14 mph

so,

\begin{gathered} v=\omega\cdot r \\  \end{gathered}

convert from mph to ft/sec

hour = 3600 sec

mile = 5280 ft

so,

2.14\frac{mile}{hour}=2.14\cdot\frac{5280}{3600}\frac{ft}{\sec}=\frac{1177}{375}\frac{ft}{\sec }

so,

\begin{gathered} \frac{1177}{375}=\frac{\pi}{30}\cdot r \\  \\ r=\frac{30\cdot1177}{375\pi}=29.97 \end{gathered}

So, the answer To the nearest foot is r = 30 ft

A wheel turns through 200 revolutions per minute. How fast does it turn in radians per second?
lana [24]

Answer:

In one second it turns 200 / 60 = 3 1/3 revolutions. Since one revolution is 360°, the answer is 6 2/3 π radians.
