The Singapore Flyer has a diameter of 150m.If the flyer is
capable of rotating at a constant speed of of 10 minutes
per revolution. Find the angular velocity and acceleration if you
are inside one of the cars when its is the highest point of the
circumference.
Rotating at Constant speed means constant angular velocity
1 revolution = 2*pi rad
so 2*pi rad in 10 * 60 = 600s
Hence, angular velocity = 0.0105 rad/s
acceleration refers to centripetal acceleration = rω^2
At
highest point, total acceleration downwards = rω^2 +
gravitational acc = 10.6
