Question 1140000: Can someone help me solve the following word trigonometric problem here? here's the problem regarding linear speeds on a carousel:

"A carousel has two circular
rings of horses. The inner ring has a radius of 14.5 feet and the
outer ring has a radius of 21.0 feet. The carousel makes one com-
plete revolution every 24 seconds. How much greater, in feet per
second, is the linear speed of a horse in the outer ring than the
linear speed of a horse in the inner ring? Round to the nearest
tenth of a foot per second."

Thanks in advance!
