The 100 meter diameter wheel needs to be designed so that it rotates at a constant rate and every complete revolution takes 15 minutes. The wheel has been installed in a vertical plane and the lowest seat is 2m above the ground surface. Each ride consists of only one full rotation.
With reference to the attached scenario:
The 100 meter diameter wheel needs to be designed so that it rotates at a constant rate and every complete revolution takes 15 minutes. The wheel has been installed in a vertical plane and the lowest seat is 2m above the ground surface. Each ride consists of only one full rotation.
1) Using calculus, determine what the maximum horizontal and vertical speeds of the rider would be and at which points during the ride they occur.
2)State expressions for the acceleration of the rider in both horizontal and vertical directions and show that the resultant acceleration experienced by the rider is independent of where on the ride he/she might be.

Hi, unfortunately I cannot see the whole equation as some seem to have been cut off of the viewing area on the page and it will not let me scroll across.
can you please rewrite the resultant acceleration equation.
thanks
