I am having trouble understanding how to find the linear speed, below
is an example of a problem I’m trying to solve.
A Ferris wheel with a diameter of 52 feet is rotating at 2 revolutions per minute. What is the linear speed of the edge of the Ferris wheel in miles per hour?
I have the equation, v=wr
I began my problem by converting feet to meters and minutes to seconds, but I’m having trouble figuring it out from there.
