The Suzhou Ferris Wheel is the
Fourth 120-meter-tall Ferris wheel
built in China. The observation
wheel is 120 meters tall with a
diameter of 110 meters. There are
60 cabins capable of holding up to 5
people at one time. The duration of
the ride is 20 minutes.
In Step 3 find the angular speed in radians per second.
In Step 4 find the linear speed in meters per second.
Solution
diameter --- 110 mt
duration --- 20 minutes for 1 revolution
So, Angular velocity = 2*pi/(20*60) = 0.00523 rad/sec
Liear velocity = angular vel. x radius =0.00523 x (110/2) = 0.2879 mt/sec
