Question
A ferris wheel has a radius of 22 feet and completes 7 revolutions in 2 minutes. Find the angular speed of the rider in degrees per second.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Change in angular rotation in unit time is known as the angular speed. The angular speed is given by:

ω = ∆θ∆twhere ω = angular speed∆θ = change in angle∆t = time taken
