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.

diameter --- 110 mt

duration --- 20 minutes for 1 revolution

So, Revolutions per minute ---1/20

Revolutions per sec--- 1/(20*60)

So, Angular velocity = 2pi*/(20*60) = 0.00523 rad/sec

Liear velocity = angular vel. x radius =0.00523 x (110/2) = 0.2879 mt/sec
