Question

1. You are consulting for an amusement park that wants to build a new "Rotor" ride. In order to increase capacity, they would like to build a unit with a 15.6-ft diameter. The Rotor should provide a centripetal acceleration of 3g. What must be the angular speed in revolutions per minute (rpm)?

Explanation / Answer

w^2 *r = angular acceleraition

w^2 = 3g / (15.6/2) =12.3

w = 3.5
