SOLUTION: The figure is a model of a Ferris wheel. The diameter of the wheel is d = 180 feet, and one complete revolution takes 10 minutes. Find the linear velocity of a person riding on the

v =   feet per hour,


where n is the number of revolution per hour,  D is the diameter,  n = 6 revolutions per hour in this case.


So,  V = 3.14*180*6  ft/hour = 3391 ft/hour =  miles per hour = 0.64 miles per hour.     ANSWER
