Concept explainers
Solve for the tangential speed of a passenger on a Ferris wheel that has a radius of 10 m and rotates once in 30 s.
To Calculate: The tangential speed of a passenger.
Answer to Problem 49A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The radius of the wheel is 10m and rotation time is 30s.
Formula used:
The tangential speed is calculated as,
Where, v is the tangential speed, r is the radius and
Calculation:
The angular speed is calculated as,
Now use this angular speed in the tangential speed formula, then the speed is
Conclusion:
Thus, the tangential speed is
