People seeking less thrilling rides at the local amusement park might enjoy a leisurely ride on the Ferris wheel. One of the largest Ferris wheels in the world stands over 31 stories high and holds more than 550 passengers. The Ferris wheel has a diameter of 147 meters and takes approximately 27 minutes to make a full circle. Determine the speed of riders (in m/s) on the edge of the Ferris wheel.
