You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose a ferris wheel has a diameter of 80 ft and the rider completes one cycle in 55 seconds. What is the speed of the ferris in ft/s?
--------------
Speed depends on the distance from the center.
If you mean on the outside:
----
Circumference C = pi*d = 80pi feet
Speed = C ft/55 seconds
