An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 10.8m in diameter from which 10kg seats are suspended at the end of 2.34m massless chains. When the system rotates, the chains make an angle of 29.4◦ with the vertical.
An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 10.8m in diameter from which 10kg seats are suspended at the end of 2.34m massless chains. When the system rotates, the chains make an angle of 29.4◦ with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. What is the speed of each seat? Answer in units of m/s.
